16334	"cache_page decorator does not accept ""cache"" keyword argument"	anonymous	nobody	"Docs for cache_page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/cache/?from=olddocs#django.views.decorators.cache.cache_page

They point out a `cache` keyword argument one can use:

   cache_page can also take an optional keyword argument, cache, which directs the decorator to use a specific cache alias when caching view results. By default, the default alias will be used, but you can specify any cache alias you want

I assume this means I can specify the cache_key to use. So, like the docs state I try this out:

   @cache_page(60 * 15, cache=""special_cache"")
   def  my_view(request):
        ....

As soon as I do this I get a ValueError with the following exception & traceback:

""need more than 1 value to unpack""
