pylibmc is a client in Python for memcached. It is a wrapper around TangentOrg's libmemcached library. The interface is intentionally made as close to python-memcached as possible, so that applications can drop-in replace it. pylibmc leverages among other things configurable behaviors, data pickling, data compression, battle-tested GIL retention, consistent distribution, and the binary memcached protocol.
