Django缓存类

Question

I have a class in my Django project that corresponds to a DB table that I don't expect to change. There are 4 rows in this table and I would like to cache them when the application first opens and then just hit the cache from then on.

Is my best bet using the Low Level Cache API ? If so, how can I then call that from every other view in my application? I just access the same cache variable?

Thanks!

If they are constant, why not hard code them? Anyway, you can cache them in global variables (for example, in some module), that way you will have to pay for accessing them (network-wise) only once per app instance.

eg something like:

# module global_vals
VAL1 = get_from_db("...")
VAL2 = get_from_db("...")

then access them

import global_vals
def foo():
  v1 = global_vals.VAL1
  v2 = global_vals.VAL2
