It allows you to store and retrieve values from one or more memcached servers, typically running on remote machines, without any compiled dependencies. The library has been stable since its original release and is now in maintenance mode, meaning it receives bug fixes and compatibility updates but not active feature development.\n\nThe package is used in applications that need distributed, in-memory caching\u2014such as session storage, query result caching, or temporary data buffering. It integrates directly into Python code with no system library requirements, making it straightforward to add to existing projects. The description acknowledges that another library is receiving more active development, so the choice depends on whether you need newer features or prefer a simpler, stable interface.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a stable, dependency-free memcached client and are comfortable with maintenance-mode software. The pure-Python implementation and low install friction make it easy to adopt. However, if you require active development or new features, consider alternatives. No known security vulnerabilities as of the query date."},"id":"python-memcached","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-memcached","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-memcached.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-memcached/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-01-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-memcached","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure python memcached client"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1225690,"position":4192,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.62"}
