Installing

Use pip or easy_install.

pip install python-binary-memcached

Using

import bmemcached
client = bmemcached.Client(('127.0.0.1:11211', ), 'user',
                            'password')
client.set('key', 'value')
print(client.get('key'))

Using it with distributed keys

import bmemcached
client = bmemcached.DistributedClient(
    ('127.0.0.1:11211', ), 'user', 'password'
)
client.set('key', 'value')
print(client.get('key'))

Testing

python-binary-memcached unit tests are found in the test/ directory and are designed to be run using pytest. pytest will discover the tests automatically, so all you have to do is:

$ pytest
...
170 passed in 4.43 seconds

This runs the tests with the default Python interpreter.

You can also verify that the tests pass on other supported Python interpreters. For this we use tox, which will automatically create a virtualenv for each supported Python version and run the tests. For example:

$ tox
...
py27: commands succeeded
ERROR:  py34: InterpreterNotFound: python3.4
py35: commands succeeded
py36: commands succeeded
py37: commands succeeded
py38: commands succeeded

You may not have all the required Python versions installed, in which case you will see one or more InterpreterNotFound errors.
