Overview

This software is a 100% Python interface to the memcached memory cache daemon. It is the client side software which allows storing values in one or more, possibly remote, memcached servers. Search google for memcached for more information.

This library is stable and largely in maintenance mode. Another library that is getting more active enhancements is pymemcache and they have links and a good set of comparisons between them on their page.

This package was originally written by Evan Martin of Danga. Please do not contact Evan about maintenance. Sean Reifschneider of tummy.com, ltd. has taken over maintenance of it.
