python - Backend Cache not Shared with Django

Question

I've created a python package that does some expensive computation and uses lru_cache in order to save the result so the user don't have to wait too long for the result being calculated.

import cachetools.func

@cachetools.func.ttl_cache(ttl=60*60)
def main_function():
  # some expensive computations
  return result

The code works pretty well when I call directly the function from a file or from the Python Shell, my issue is that when calling this package from my Django project, somehow it doesn't look up the already cached results.

In my __init__.py file I'm calling main_function and then I try to call it again from my Django project but it does not return the cached response, instead it runs the function again.

The package that I've created has a complex cache system, it works nice so I think this may be a problem with Django, that somehow I need to manage the caches from my Django project, any suggestions on how can I solve this?
