Contents of locmem cache in Django?

I was trying to use the locmem cache for my web application but couldn't find any documentation on how to see the contents of the cache. I mean I want to check if my keys are being set correctly in the cache. How can I list all the keys in this cache or is that even possible?

I found the question Get list of Cache Keys in Django but it's about memcache, not the locmem cache.

With LocMemCache, 3 sets of code below can get the contents of the cache in Django. *My question explains what results 3 sets of code below can get with LocMemCache and my answer explains how to get the key's values with the keys and versions using LocMemCache:

from django.core.cache import cache

print(cache._cache) # Here

from django.core.cache import cache

print(cache._cache.items()) # Here

from django.core.cache.backends import locmem

print(locmem._caches) # Here

The thing about locmem is that it really is just a local memory storage. Looking at the code, it's clear that the data is just being saved in a module-level variable, _caches, in that module. So you can just do

from django.core.cache.backends import locmem
print(locmem._caches)
