Cache.delete()

Remove key.

Usage

Source

Cache.delete(key)

Returns

bool

True if a live entry was removed, False if the key was missing or expired. With

durable=True, also False if the delete failed: that invalidation is lost, and the

entry can be served stale until it expires, or forever if it has no expiry. The log

line is the only signal.

Raises

Timeout

Another process held the write lock for longer than timeout.

Examples

cache.delete('user:42')        # True if it was there
for key in cache.iterkeys(prefix='user:42:'):
    cache.delete(key)          # safe while iterating
