django-tokyo-sessions ======================= This is a session backend for Django that stores sessions in a Tokyo Cabinet database, which communicates via Tokyo Tyrant using the PyTyrant library. Tokyo Cabinet is a key-value store similar to BDB. The advantage to using this over other solutions is that your data is persistent unlike memcached, and Tokyo Cabinet is designed to store key-value data like this, so performance is much closer to that of memcached than with a database. Installing django-tokyo-sessions ----------------------------------- 1. Either download the tarball and run ``python setup.py install``, or simply use easy install or pip like so ``easy_install django-tokyo-sessions``. 2. Set ``tokyo_sessions.tyrant`` as your session engine, like so:: SESSION_ENGINE = 'tokyo_sessions.tyrant' 3. Add settings describing where to connect to the Tokyo Tyrant database:: TT_HOST = '127.0.0.1' TT_PORT = 1978 That's it. Hopefully this backend gives you all the better performance while still not sacrificing persistence.
