Subpackage Descriptions
single pymemcache ========== :alt: Master Documentation Status A comprehensive, fast, pure-Python memcached client. pymemcache supports the following features: * Complete implementation of the memcached text protocol. * Connections using UNIX sockets, or TCP over IPv4 or IPv6. * Configurable timeouts for socket connect and send/recv calls. * Access to the "noreply" flag, which can significantly increase the speed of writes. * Flexible, modular and simple approach to serialization and deserialization. * The (optional) ability to treat network and memcached errors as cache misses. Installing pymemcache ===================== Install from pip: .. code-block:: bash pip install pymemcache For development, clone from github and run the tests: .. code-block:: bash git clone https://github.com/pinterest/pymemcache.git cd pymemcache Run the tests (make sure you have a local memcached server running): .. code-block:: bash tox Usage ===== See the documentation here: https://pymemcache.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Django ------ Since version 3.2, Django has included a pymemcache-based cache backend. See [its documentation ]. On older Django versions, you can use `django-pymemcache `_. Comparison with Other Libraries =============================== pylibmc ------- The pylibmc library is a wrapper around libmemcached, implemented in C. It is fast, implements consistent hashing, the full memcached protocol and timeouts. It does not provide access to the "noreply" flag. It also isn't pure Python, so using it with libraries like gevent is out of the question, and its dependency on libmemcached poses challenges (e.g., it must be built against the same version of libmemcached that it will use at runtime). python-memcached ---------------- The python-memcached library implements the entire memcached text protocol, has a single timeout for all socket calls and has a flexible approach to serialization and deserialization. It is also written entirely in Python, so it works well with libraries like gevent. However, it is tied to using thread locals, doesn't implement "noreply", can't treat errors as cache misses and is slower than both pylibmc and pymemcache. It is also tied to a specific method for handling clusters of memcached servers. memcache_client --------------- The team at mixpanel put together a pure Python memcached client as well. It has more fine grained support for socket timeouts, only connects to a single host. However, it doesn't support most of the memcached API (just get, set, delete and stats), doesn't support "noreply", has no serialization or deserialization support and can't treat errors as cache misses.
