Hello folks,
I am implementing caching for my Python application and I want to use memcached. Which module do you suggest me to use? There are so many that I don't know which one to choose.
Thanks, Boda Cydo.

A:
I use python-memcached and there's some good advice on usage in the source code header, referenced in this answer.
Use the third parameter to set the expiry.
From bundled memcached.html help file:
set(self, key, val, time=0, min_compress_len=0)
so
mc.set(key, val, time)
More info and exmaples here

Thanks! But do you know how to make a key expire? The examples on that page, just set the keys, but how to make them expire after, let's say 444 seconds?

A:
I use cmemcache, which is more performant (but no more mantained). As its developer suggest, you can switch to http://code.google.com/p/python-libmemcached.
