Replaces something like this: cache_key = 'game1' the_game = cache.get(cache_key) if not the_game: the_game = Game.objects.get(id=1) cache.set(cache_key, the_game, 60245)

With this: the_game = get_cache_or_query('game1', Game, seconds_to_cache=60245, id=1)

    '''
    from django.core.cache import cache
    
    q = cache.get(cache_key)
    if not q:
        q = model.objects.get(**kwargs)
        cache.set(cache_key, q, seconds_to_cache)
    return q
