Hi, aplogies if this is a FAQ/recently discussed - I tried a quick search but didn't find anything - hit me with a URL if there is one.
My question - does Django cache work across scripts? The problem I have is: my page needs to show some data that is timewise expensive to generate. If I do it in runtime, then if there is a cache hit then its OK, but if there's a cache miss then the page fails to load or takes too long. Rather than generating the data in runtime (ideally I would do this but I need to really really optimize the frontend), I thought that a simple solution would be to have a cron script do the expensive work, import the Django core/cache modules and just store the data in the Django cache from the "generator" script using the Django cache API, from where the web side of things can pick it up? 1) will it work (of course I'll also try out myself, but I thought I'd consult a bit first) and 2) is it a nice/"right" way of doing things? maybe I should look at some other architectural way of doing this, or is this OK? I see no reason why it shouldn't work as long as the backend generator and the frontend displayer use the same configuration and cache object keys. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
