I agree that it's time Mariusz. Thank you for keeping track of and handling the deprecation, you're on top of things as always! On Sat, 14 Nov 2020 at 07:34, Mariusz Felisiak wrote: > Hello, > > I think it's time to deprecate the > *django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache* backen

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

Hello, I think it's time to deprecate the *django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache* backend in Django 3.2 and remove it in Django 4.1, see #32193 . So if there is no strong opposition I will move it forward in the next few weeks. B

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

A backport probably isn't needed, but I strongly urge deprecation. The library has had a few failed attempts at pick up, but ultimately those who wanted to do that just moved to pymemcached, and anyone else sensible will do the same. There is no need or want to maintain python-memcached when a stro

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

TIcket #29887 doesn't qualify for a backport so if someone prepare a patch then we can include it in the Django 3.1. Also, I don't see a strong consensus for deprecating python-memcached support. It can found a new maintainer in the nearest future. Best, Mariusz -- You received this message b

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

That's a tough question. It depends on when and how we do it. A new backend can potentially be backported to 2.2 (the current safe LTS), but we can't really update the existing one if people are using it and expect it to work. Django doesn't actually have any deps for these libraries, so people hav

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

Do we actually need to deprecate the current backend and create a new one? Can't we just rewrite the current backend? Technically changing a dependency doesn't require deprecation, does it? It's also a very simply update process. On Monday, November 25, 2019 at 6:46:05 AM UTC+7, Adrian Turjak w

Re: python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

I am currently attempting to involve myself more into Django development. Have little to no idea how. This seems to me like an easy pickings and I would be willing to port existing code to the new package, if that's okay with the core team. My expected approach: 1. verify claims 2. take the

python-memcached is deprecated, but still used in core Django

A while ago now I opened a ticket that we need to deprecate the python-memcached backend in Django, and ideally make a new one which uses Pinterest's pymemcache instead (which is now the most commonly used one). This is the ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29887 But it seems there ha
