I am using a python 2.7 cartridge with the Django framework and I want to integrate memcached into it. I have added the Memcached Cloud cartridge to my app and followed this guide to set up my project. In order to utilize the Django caching backend 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache', I need to install a memcached binding called pylibmc, which requires libmemcached to be installed. I have successfully installed pylibmc with the corresponding path to libmemcached. However, when trying to use the cache in my project, I encountered an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
File "/var/lib/openshift/<USER_ID>/python/virtenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/cache/__init__.py", line 113, in __getitem__
cache = _create_cache(alias)
File "/var/lib/openshift/<USER_ID>/python/virtenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/cache/__init__.py", line 88, in _create_cache
return backend_cls(location, params)
File "/var/lib/openshift/<USER_ID>/python/virtenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/cache/backends/memcached.py", line 182, in __init__
import pylibmc

import _pylibmc
ImportError: libmemcached.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How can I resolve this issue? Perhaps the solution involves something like: ln -s ${OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR}libmemcached /lib/libmemcached.so.11 /usr/lib/libmemcached.so.11 But unfortunately, I do not have permission to execute this command.
