best place to clear cache when restarting django server

Question

I want memcached to be flushed on every restart/reload of django server. I use cherrypy for production and builtin server for development.

I would add this to settin

Answer 1

How about this? Define a boolean value in settings.py, for example CLEAR_CACHE_ON_RESTART = True and then check in other place if it is True. If it is, then clear cache and set it to False. This code can be placed in any view (like a main view) and probably even in manage.py or urls.py (although I didn't check this and it doesn't look too good). Give it a try!
