Chapter 11 - Memcached issues

[jakespeers]

Loved the book, one thing that I'm having a lot of issues with is the memcached part. It appeared to be working, but I upgraded to django 3.2 somewhere along the way with my project. Django seems to have deprecated Memcache backend and replaced with PyMemcache, which is causing issues with django status. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Any tips to get mem status working again or other alternatives to see if caching is working or not? One other question I have is with setting the location to local ip address. If I am running this on a digital ocean droplet in production, should the location still be local address, or the ip address of the droplet? Thanks!
