     189Using a custom cache backend 
     190---------------------------- 
     191 
     192**New in Django development version** 
     193 
     194While Django includes support for a number of cache backends out-of-the-box, 
     195sometimes you will want to use a customised verison or your own backend.  To 
     196use an external cache backend with Django, use a Python import path as the 
     197scheme portion (the part before the initial colon) of the ``CACHE_BACKEND`` 
     198URI, like so:: 
     199 
     200    CACHE_BACKEND = 'path.to.backend://' 
     201 
     202If you're building your own backend, you can use the standard cache backends 
     203as reference implementations. You'll find the code in the 
     204``django/core/cache/backends/`` directory of the Django source. 
     205 
     206Note: Without a really compelling reason, like a host that doesn't support the 
     207them, you should stick to the cache backends included with Django. They've 
     208been really well-tested and are quite easy to use.
