expire_page method

Django has a great cache framework but doesn't provide an easy way to expire a view that has been cached.

This method does just that.

Example

If you have a view like:

#views.py
@cache_page(60 * 10)
def show(req, slug):
  # ...

#urls.py
# ...
url(r'^profile/(?P<stub>.*)/$', 'show', name='show_profile'),
# ...

Then you can use expire_page like:

from cache_tools.tools import expire_page
# ...
expire_page(reverse('show_profile', args=(stub,)))
