InvalidCacheBackendError with memcached/Django?

Question

I want to install memcached with a Django application. I have set up memcached and configured Django to use memcached as per the Webfaction instructions.

However, when I restart Apache, I get a 500 error and the logs show:

InvalidCacheBackendError: Memcached cache backend requires either the 'memcache' or 'cmemcache' library

I then tried:

$ easy_install-2.6 memcached

as recommended on the Webfaction forums, but got:

Searching for memcached
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/memcached/
Couldn't find index page for 'memcached' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
No local packages or download links found for memcached
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('memcached')

Could you advise?

Accepted Answer

0	Ah, figured it out, it's python-memcached: `$ easy_install-2.6 python-memcached` All works okay now. permanent link answered 19 Sep '11, 13:20 AnnaPS 107●1●12●20 accept rate: 100% edited 19 Sep '11, 13:20
