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.

Changelog ========= New in version 4.0.0 -------------------- * Dropped Python 2 and 3.6 support `#321 `_ `#363 `_ * Begin adding typing * Add pluggable compression serde `#407 `_ New in version 3.5.2 -------------------- * Handle blank ``STAT`` values. New in version 3.5.1 -------------------- * ``Client.get`` returns the default when using ``ignore_exc`` and if memcached is unavailable * Added ``noreply`` support to ``HashClient.flush_all``. New in version 3.5.0 -------------------- * Sockets are now closed on ``MemcacheUnexpectedCloseError``. * Added support for TCP keepalive for client sockets on Linux platforms. * Added retrying mechanisms by wrapping clients. New in version 3.4.4 -------------------- * Idle connections will be removed from the pool after ``pool_idle_timeout``. New in version 3.4.3 -------------------- * Fix ``HashClient.{get,set}_many()`` with UNIX sockets. New in version 3.4.2 -------------------- * Remove trailing space for commands that don't take arguments, such as ``stats``. This was a violation of the memcached protocol. New in version 3.4.1 -------------------- * CAS operations will now raise ``MemcacheIllegalInputError`` when ``None`` is given as the ``cas`` value. New in version 3.4.0 -------------------- * Added IPv6 support for TCP socket connections. Note that IPv6 may be used in preference to IPv4 when passing a domain name as the host if an IPv6 address can be resolved for that domain. * ``HashClient`` now supports UNIX sockets. New in version 3.3.0 -------------------- * ``HashClient`` can now be imported from the top-level ``pymemcache`` package (e.g. ``pymemcache.HashClient``). * ``HashClient.get_many()`` now longer stores ``False`` for missing keys from unavailable clients. Instead, the result won't contain the key at all. * Added missing ``HashClient.close()`` and ``HashClient.quit()``. New in version 3.2.0 -------------------- * ``PooledClient`` and ``HashClient`` now support custom ``Client`` classes New in version 3.1.1 -------------------- * Improve ``MockMemcacheClient`` to behave even more like ``Client`` New in version 3.1.0 -------------------- * Add TLS support for TCP sockets. * Fix corner case when dead hashed server comes back alive. New in version 3.0.1 -------------------- * Make MockMemcacheClient more consistent with the real client. * Pass ``encoding`` from HashClient to its pooled clients when ``use_pooling`` is enabled. New in version 3.0.0 -------------------- * The serialization API has been reworked. Instead of consuming a serializer and deserializer as separate arguments, client objects now expect an argument ``serde`` to be an object which implements ``serialize`` and ``deserialize`` as methods. (``serialize`` and ``deserialize`` are still supported but considered deprecated.) * Validate integer inputs for ``expire``, ``delay``, ``incr``, ``decr``, and ``memlimit`` -- non-integer values now raise ``MemcacheIllegalInputError`` * Validate inputs for ``cas`` -- values which are not integers or strings of 0-9 now raise ``MemcacheIllegalInputError`` * Add ``prepend`` and ``append`` support to ``MockMemcacheClient``. * Add the ``touch`` method to ``HashClient``. * Added official support for Python 3.8. New in version 2.2.2 -------------------- * Fix ``long_description`` string in Python packaging. New in version 2.2.1 -------------------- * Fix ``flags`` when setting multiple differently-typed values at once. New in version 2.2.0 -------------------- * Drop official support for Python 3.4. * Use ``setup.cfg`` metadata instead ``setup.py`` config to generate package. * Add ``default_noreply`` parameter to ``HashClient``. * Add ``encoding`` parameter to ``Client`` constructors (defaults to ``ascii``). * Add ``flags`` parameter to write operation methods. * Handle unicode key values in ``MockMemcacheClient`` correctly. * Improve ASCII encoding failure exception. New in version 2.1.1 -------------------- * Fix ``setup.py`` dependency on six already being installed. New in version 2.1.0 -------------------- * Public classes and exceptions can now be imported from the top-level ``pymemcache`` package (e.g. ``pymemcache.Client``). `#197 `_ * Add UNIX domain socket support and document server connection options. `#206 `_ * Add support for the ``cache_memlimit`` command. `#211 `_ * Commands key are now always sent in their original order. `#209 `_ New in version 2.0.0 -------------------- * Change set_many and set_multi api return value. `#179 `_ * Fix support for newbytes from python-future. `#187 `_ * Add support for Python 3.7, and drop support for Python 3.3 * Properly batch Client.set_many() call. `#182 `_ * Improve _check_key() and _store_cmd() performance. `#183 `_ * Properly batch Client.delete_many() call. `#184 `_ * Add option to explicitly set pickle version used by serde. `#190 `_ New in version 1.4.4 -------------------- * pypy3 to travis test matrix * full benchmarks in test * fix flake8 issues * Have mockmemcacheclient support non-ascii strings * Switch from using pickle format 0 to the highest available version.
