[Django]-Why doesn't my tastypie cache get called?

It seems that Tastypie doesn’t automatically cache lists, tastypie.resources around line 1027:

def get_list(self, request, **kwargs):

    # ...

    # TODO: Uncached for now. Invalidation that works for everyone may be
    #       impossible.
    objects = self.obj_get_list(
        request=request, **self.remove_api_resource_names(kwargs))

    # ...

, whereas with details (around line 1050):

def get_detail(self, request, **kwargs):

   # ...

   try:
       obj = self.cached_obj_get(
           request=request, **self.remove_api_resource_names(kwargs))

   # ...

… note that in the former snippet obj_get_list is called instead of cached_obj_get_list. Perhaps overriding get_list and using cached_obj_get_list would allow you to use cache here as well?

Now you probably would get output from your class for http://localhost:8000/api/poll/<pk>/?format=json (detail view) but not for http://localhost:8000/api/poll/?format=json (list view) by default.
