not able to use cache in django python

Question

i want to cache in django so I am using low level API caching but even after adding it shows none

>>> from django.core.cache import cache
>>> cache.set('my_key', 'hello, world!')
>>> cache.get('my_key')
>>> print(cache.get('my_key'))
None
>>>

in my settings.py

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211',
    }
}

even when i use cache.add('my_key', 'hello, world!', 30) it return false

You can try to set timeout:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache',
        'LOCATION': 'exchange_rate_cache',
        'TIMEOUT': 604800  # 7 days
    }
}

You can set the timeout to None to remove it completely.
