why memcache can cache django model

memcache 可以缓存一切可序列化和反序列化的对象

python-memcached使用pickle和cpickle来序列化和反序列化对象

而pickle可以序列化的类型有

The following types can be pickled:

• None, True, and False
• integers, long integers, floating point numbers, complex numbers
• normal and Unicode strings
• tuples, lists, sets, and dictionaries containing only picklable objects
• functions defined at the top level of a module
• built-in functions defined at the top level of a module
• classes that are defined at the top level of a module
• instances of such classes whose __dict__ or __setstate__() is picklable (see section The pickle protocol for details)

django model的__dict__除了各列内容就多一个'_state', 其只是用来保存数据库名的一个东西，so memcached can cache django model
