Introduction

django-valkey is a BSD licensed, full featured Valkey cache and session backend for Django.

this project is a fork of the wonderful django-redis project. they wrote all the good codes.

• Pluggable parsers
• Pluggable serializers
• Primary/secondary support in the default client
• Comprehensive test suite
• Used in production in several projects as cache and session storage
• Supports infinite timeouts
• Facilities for raw access to Valkey client/connection pool
• Highly configurable (can emulate memcached exception behavior, for example)
• Unix sockets supported by default

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
