ultramemcache

ultramemcache is an ultra fast Memcache client written in highly optimized C++ with Python bindings.

To install it just run Pip as usual:

$ pip install umemcache

ultramemcache provides a Client class you can use to interact with Memcache:

>>> import umemcache
>>> c = umemcache.Client('127.0.0.1:11211')
>>> c.connect()
>>> c.set('key', 'value')
'STORED'
>>> c.get('key')[0]
'value'

By design, ultramemcache limits the size of Memcache items to 1000*1000 bytes, but you can change this limitation by using the max_item_size argument when creating a Client class.
