[Django]-Django – Johnny Cache for multiple processes

It appears that middleware is not called when you run scripts/management comands which is why you are seeing the difference. This makes sense when reading the documentation on middleware because it processes things like request and views, which don’t exist in a custom script.

I found a way around this, and there is an issue regarding it in the Johnny Cache bitbucket repo. In your script put the following before you do anything with the database:

from johnny.middleware import QueryCacheMiddleware
qcm = QueryCacheMiddleware()

# put the code for you script here

qcm.unpatch()
