mcache-sdk 0.1.0

Python SDK for mcache — HTTP and gRPC clients

mcache-sdk-python

Python SDK for mcache — supports both HTTP and gRPC transports.

Installation

pip install mcache-sdk

Or from source:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

HTTP Client

from mcache.http_client import HttpClient

with HttpClient("http://localhost:8080") as c:
    # insert with 60-second TTL
    c.insert("user/profile/name", "alice", ttl_seconds=60)

    # get by exact prefix
    item = c.get("user/profile/name")
    print(item.data)        # alice
    print(item.created_at)  # datetime

    # update
    c.update("user/profile/name", "bob")

    # list all children under a path
    items = c.list_by_prefix("user/profile")
    for it in items:
        print(it.prefix, it.data)

    # delete
    c.delete("user/profile/name")

gRPC Client

from mcache.grpc_client import GrpcClient

with GrpcClient("localhost:9090") as c:
    c.insert("user/profile/name", {"age": 30}, ttl_seconds=300)

    item = c.get("user/profile/name")
    print(item.data)  # {"age": 30}

API Reference

Both HttpClient and GrpcClient implement the same CacheClient interface:

Method	Description
insert(prefix, data, *, ttl_seconds=0)	Create a cache entry. Raises AlreadyExistsError if prefix exists.
get(prefix)	Get entry by exact prefix. Raises NotFoundError if missing or expired.
update(prefix, data, *, ttl_seconds=0)	Update existing entry. Raises NotFoundError if missing.
delete(prefix)	Delete entry. Raises NotFoundError if missing.
list_by_prefix(prefix)	List all direct children under a prefix path.
close()	Release connections. Called automatically via context manager.

Exceptions

Exception	When
mcache.NotFoundError	Prefix not found or expired
mcache.AlreadyExistsError	Duplicate insert
mcache.McacheError	Other server or transport errors

Item fields

@dataclass
class Item:
    prefix: str
    data: Any                        # JSON-deserialized value
    created_at: datetime
    updated_at: datetime
    expire_time: Optional[datetime]  # None if no TTL set

• Python >= 3.9
• requests >= 2.31 (HTTP client)
• grpcio >= 1.64 (gRPC client)
