The current way in which cache keys are built by Django loses all path information as keys are opaques, and furthermore it's impossible for a user to override it, short of monkeypatching utils.cache.get_cache_key() and utils.cache._generate_cache_header_key(). It might be useful to add a config setting where the user can specify a couple of generic functions to use instead of the default ones. It will take little work, and make the cache engine much more extensible for advanced uses." closed Core (Cache system) 1.0 fixed Accepted 0 0 0 0 0 0
