Description: django-infinite-memcached
        =========================
        
        A Django memcached backend to handle "infinite" timeouts (i.e., never
        expire an item).
        
        Installation
        -------------
        
        1) ``$ pip install django-infinite-memcached``
        
        2) Set ``infinite_memcached.cache.MemcachedCache`` as your cache backend::
        
            CACHES = {
                "default": {
                    "BACKEND": "infinite_memcached.cache.MemcachedCache",
                    "LOCATION": "127.0.0.1:11211",
                },
            }
        
        How to use
        ----------
        
        Either set the ``TIMEOUT`` option to 0::
        
            CACHES = {
                "default": {
                    "BACKEND": "infinite_memcached.cache.MemcachedCache",
                    "LOCATION": "127.0.0.1:11211",
                    "TIMEOUT": 0,
                },
            }
        
        Or pass ``timeout=0`` to the `low-level cache commands
        <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/cache/#the-low-level-cache-api>`_
        (e.g., set, add, etc.) to keep things from expiring.
        
        Why?
        ----
        
        Django's default memcached backend doesn't accept timeout values of
        zero, instead using the default timeout (five minutes) when zero is passed.
        
        This cache backend overrides how timeouts are calculated so any
        timeout of zero is passed directly to memcached, telling memcached to
        never expire an item.
        
        This has been an `known issue
        <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9595>`_ for awhile, but
        concerns over backwards compatibility have prevented any fixes from
        taking place.
