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.

You need to config this custom backend to the default cache backend in settings.py to reproduce this problem, django.core.cache would import the default cache backend.
sorry for poor english description.

And that's exactly what I did. If you want to convince me, you'll need to provide a sample project.

I was wrong, there's no bug in django ;-)
