Description: `pylibmc` is a quick and small Python client for memcached__ written in C.
        
        __ http://memcached.org/
        
        It builds on the famous `libmemcached`__ C client from TangentOrg__, notable for
        its speed and flexibility.
        
        __ http://tangent.org/552/libmemcached.html
        __ http://tangent.org/
        
        `libmemcached` must be installed separately, and be available to the compiler
        and linker.
        
        For installation instructions, usage notes and reference documentation, see
        pylibmc__'s home at http://sendapatch.se/projects/pylibmc/.

        Comparison to other libraries
        =============================
        
        Why use `pylibmc`? Because it's fast.
        
        `See this (a bit old) speed comparison`__, or `amix.dk's comparison`__.

        Installation
        ============
        
        Building needs libmemcached and optionally zlib, the path to which can be
        specified using command-line options to ``setup.py``
        
        ``--with-libmemcached=DIR``
        Build against libmemcached in DIR
        ``--with-zlib=DIR``
        Build against zlib in DIR
        ``--without-zlib``
        Disable zlib (disables compression)
        
        So for example, if one were to use MacPorts to install libmemcached, your
        libmemcached would end up in ``/opt/local``, hence
        ``--with-libmemcached=/opt/local``.

        New in version 1.1
        ------------------
        
        - Removed deprecated space-based behavior names.
        - Acquire and release the GIL properly, thanks ketralnis__
        - Add support for ``libmemcached 0.40``
        - Included a more useful command-line interface
        - Fixed handling of NUL-byte keys in ``get_multi`` in binary protocol
        - Fixed some valgrind-reported memory warnings
        - Fixed bogus usage of time argument for delete.

        New in version 1.0
        ------------------
        
        - Lots of documentation fixes and other nice things like that.
        - Nailed what appears to be the last outstanding memory leak.
        - Explicitly require libmemcached 0.32 or newer.
        
        New in version 0.9
        ------------------
        
        - Added a ``get_stats`` method, which behaves exactly like
        `python-memcached`'s equivalent.
        - Gives the empty string for empty memcached values like `python-memcached`
        does.
        - Added exceptions for most `libmemcached` return codes.
        - Fixed an issue with ``Client.behaviors.update``.
        
        New in version 0.8
        ------------------
        
        - Pooling helpers are now available. See ``pooling.rst`` in the distribution.
        - The binary protocol is now properly exposed, simply pass ``binary=True`` to
        the constructor and there you go.
        - Call signatures now match `libmemcached` 0.32, but should work with older
        versions. Remember to run the tests!
        
        New in version 0.7
        ------------------
        
        - Restructured some of the code, which should yield better performance (if not
        for that, it reads better.)
        - Fixed some memory leaks.
        - Integrated changes from `amix.dk`, which should make pylibmc work under
        Snow Leopard.
        - Add support for the boolean datatype.
        - Improved test-runner -- now tests ``build/lib.*/_pylibmc.so`` if available,
        and reports some version information.
        - Support for x86_64 should now work completely.
        - Builds with Python 2.4, tests run fine, but not officially supported.
        - Fixed critical bugs in behavior manipulation.
        
        New in version 0.6
        ------------------
        
        - Added compatibility with `libmemcached` 0.26, WRT error return codes.
        - Added `flush_all` and `disconnect_all` methods.
        - Now using the latest pickling protocol.
        
        New in version 0.5
        ------------------
        
        - Fixed lots of memory leaks, and added support for `libmemcached` 0.23.
        - Also made the code tighter in terms of compiler pedantics.
        
        New in version 0.4
        ------------------
        
        - Renamed the C module to `_pylibmc`, and added lots of `libmemcached` constants
        to it, as well as implemented behaviors.
