'CACHE_URL' default value is not found using env.cache()

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

The environment: django-environ==0.4.4 Django==2.0.6

I have no CACHE_URL environment variable set in the system.

In settings.py I use:

env = environ.Env(
    DEBUG=(bool, False),
    CACHE_URL=(str, "locmemcache://"),
)

On calling env.cache() I expect to get a dictinoary like this: {'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache', 'LOCATION': ''}

Instead I get:

raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'CACHE_URL'

print(env('CACHE_URL')) shows the correct default value. print(os.environ['CACHE_URL']) raises a KeyError.

In the python shell the above workflow works perfectly - env.cache() returns what is expected.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Norman
