#Pure python(3.x) client for memcached
See http://www.danga.com/memcached for more about memcached.
This should give you a feel for how this module operates::
import memcache
mc = memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211'], debug=0)
mc.set("some_key", "Some value")
value = mc.get("some_key")
mc.set("another_key", 3)
mc.delete("another_key")
mc.set("key", "1") # note that the key used for incr/decr must be a string.
mc.incr("key")
mc.decr("key")
The standard way to use memcache with a database is like this::
key = derive_key(obj)
obj = mc.get(key)
if not obj:
obj = backend_api.get(...)
mc.set(obj)
we now have obj, and future passes through this code will use the object from the cache.
