A good rule of thumb  use the built-in help system in Python  Example below     jdoe server    python Python 2 7 3  default  Aug  1 2012  05 14 39    GCC 4 6 3  on linux2 Type  help    copyright    credits  or  license  for more information   gt  gt  gt  import memcache  gt  gt  gt  dir       builtins        doc        name        package      memcache    gt  gt  gt  help memcache   ------------------------------------------ NAME     memcache - client module for memcached  memory cache daemon   FILE      usr lib python2 7 dist-packages memcache py  MODULE DOCS     http   docs python org library memcache  DESCRIPTION     Overview                   See U the MemCached homepage lt http   www danga com memcached gt   for more about memcached       Usage summary                       ------------------------------------------

It s fairly simple  You write values using keys and expiry times  You get values using keys  You can expire keys from the system   Most clients follow the same rules  You can read the generic instructions and best practices on the memcached homepage   If you really want to dig into it  I d look at the source  Here s the header comment       client module for memcached  memory cache daemon   Overview           See U the MemCached homepage lt http   www danga com memcached gt   for more about memcached   Usage summary                This should give you a feel for how this module operates        import memcache     mc   memcache Client   127 0 0 1 11211    debug 0       mc set  some key    Some value       value   mc get  some key        mc set  another key   3      mc delete  another key        mc set  key    1       note that the key used for incr decr must be a string      mc incr  key       mc decr  key    The standard way to use memcache with a database is like this        key   derive key obj      obj   mc get key      if not obj          obj   backend api get              mc set key  obj         we now have obj  and future passes through this code       will use the object from the cache   Detailed Documentation                         More detailed documentation is available in the L Client  class

I would advise you to use pylibmc instead   It can act as a drop-in replacement of python-memcache  but a lot faster as it s written in C   And you can find handy documentation for it here   And to the question  as pylibmc just acts as a drop-in replacement  you can still refer to documentations of pylibmc for your python-memcache programming
