cache.get('key') returns None in Django using Memcached

Question

I am trying to use Memcache in my Django app, but it seems that something in my configuration is missing. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you!

$ python manage.py shell
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> from django.core.cache import cache
>>> cache.set('my_key', 'hello, world!', 30)
>>> print cache.get('my_key')
None
>>>

Settings.py

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

APIs installed:

$ pypm install python-memcached
$ brew install memcached
$ brew install libmemcached

How do I do that?, I thought I just had to add it on the Django's settings — Pompeyo

'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:8000' this is supposed to be location of memcached, not Django — vartec

telnet localhost 11211 if you get Connection refused your memcached is not running. If you get telnet prompt, type stats. You should get bunch of memcached's stats, if you don't your memcache isn't configured properly — vartec

I think I had some issues in my configuration, so I just installed Memcache again using MacPorts

$ sudo port install memcached

and then I ran Memcache, and it works

$ memcached -vv

These instructions have been tested on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
