Django MongoDB Cash Backend

The only Django MongoDB Cache backend you need.

Installation and Usage

    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_mongodb_cash_backend.MongoDBCache',
        "LOCATION": "DEFAULT",
        "TIMEOUT": 86400,
        "OPTIONS": {
            "HOST": "MongoDB_host",
            "PORT": 12345,
            "USERNAME": "username_if_desired",

        },
    }

Tips

On your MongoDB database, you should consider creating an index on the "expires" field. Culling old cache entries will be much faster and performance overall will be improved.
