pylibmc is a Python wrapper around the accompanying C Python extension _pylibmc, which is a wrapper around libmemcached from TangentOrg.
You have to install libmemcached separately, and have your compiler and linker find the include files and libraries.
With libmemcached installed and this package set up, the following basic usage example should work:
>>> import pylibmc
>>> mc = pylibmc.Client(["127.0.0.1:11211"])
>>> mc.set("foo", "Hello world!")
True
>>> mc.get("foo")
'Hello world!'
The API is pretty much python-memcached. Some parts of libmemcached aren’t exposed yet. I think.
Behaviors
libmemcached has ways of telling it how to behave. You’ll have to refer to its documentation on what the different behaviors do.
To change behaviors, quite simply:
>>> mc.behaviors["hash"] = "fnv1a_32"
Comparison to other libraries
Why use pylibmc? Because it’s fast.
