Description (last modified by Russell Keith-Magee)

When writing a custom cache backend which inherit from django's builtin memcache backend, say mycache.py: 

    from django.core.cache.backends.memcached import CacheClass as BaseCacheClass
    class MyCache(BaseCacheClass):
        ....

and set backend to "mycache.MyCache" in settings.py, then mycache.py and django.core.cache.__init__.py import each other.
Turn django.core.cache.__init__.py::cache object to be a SimpleLazyObject would solve this problem.

Can't reproduce -- I dropped a custom cache class defined as you describe, and don't the problem you describe. Looking at the code, I can't even work out what set of conditions would allow this to be reproduced -- I don't see any circular dependency. memcached doesn't import anything from the django.core.cache.
