Django documentation shows Memcached as the best option for cache server.
For Memcached binding, it suggests pylibmc and pymemcache as only options.
They were both last updated in 2022 and the latest Python they officially
support is 3.10.
I think pylibmc and pymemcache mentiones should be removed from the docs
and there should be a note added, that there's no maintained bindings.
Also, I suggest moving Redis to the first spot. redis-py is actively
maintained and widely used in production. It makes more sense as the
recommended starting point than Memcached given the current state of the
available bindings.
