Changelog

New in version 4.0.0

  • Dropped Python 2 and 3.6 support #321 #363

  • Begin adding typing

  • Add pluggable compression serde #407

New in version 3.5.2

  • Handle blank STAT values.

New in version 3.5.1

  • Client.get returns the default when using ignore_exc and if memcached is unavailable

  • Added noreply support to HashClient.flush_all.

New in version 3.5.0

  • Sockets are now closed on MemcacheUnexpectedCloseError.

  • Added support for TCP keepalive for client sockets on Linux platforms.

  • Added retrying mechanisms by wrapping clients.

New in version 3.4.4

  • Idle connections will be removed from the pool after pool_idle_timeout.

New in version 3.4.3

  • Fix HashClient.{get,set}_many() with UNIX sockets.

New in version 3.4.2

  • Remove trailing space for commands that don’t take arguments, such as stats. This was a violation of the memcached protocol.

New in version 3.4.1

  • CAS operations will now raise MemcacheIllegalInputError when None is given as the cas value.

New in version 3.4.0

  • Added IPv6 support for TCP socket connections. Note that IPv6 may be used in preference to IPv4 when passing a domain name as the host if an IPv6 address can be resolved for that domain.

  • HashClient now supports UNIX sockets.

New in version 3.3.0

  • HashClient can now be imported from the top-level pymemcache package (e.g. pymemcache.HashClient).

  • HashClient.get_many() now longer stores False for missing keys from unavailable clients. Instead, the result won’t contain the key at all.

  • Added missing HashClient.close() and HashClient.quit().

New in version 3.2.0

  • PooledClient and HashClient now support custom Client classes

New in version 3.1.1

  • Improve MockMemcacheClient to behave even more like Client

New in version 3.1.0

  • Add TLS support for TCP sockets.

  • Fix corner case when dead hashed server comes back alive.

New in version 3.0.1

  • Make MockMemcacheClient more consistent with the real client.

  • Pass encoding from HashClient to its pooled clients when use_pooling is enabled.

New in version 3.0.0

  • The serialization API has been reworked. Instead of consuming a serializer and deserializer as separate arguments, client objects now expect an argument serde to be an object which implements serialize and deserialize as methods. (serialize and deserialize are still supported but considered deprecated.)

  • Validate integer inputs for expire, delay, incr, decr, and memlimit – non-integer values now raise MemcacheIllegalInputError

  • Validate inputs for cas – values which are not integers or strings of 0-9 now raise MemcacheIllegalInputError

  • Add prepend and append support to MockMemcacheClient.

  • Add the touch method to HashClient.

  • Added official support for Python 3.8.

New in version 2.2.2

  • Fix long_description string in Python packaging.

New in version 2.2.1

  • Fix flags when setting multiple differently-typed values at once.

New in version 2.2.0

  • Drop official support for Python 3.4.

  • Use setup.cfg metadata instead setup.py config to generate package.

  • Add default_noreply parameter to HashClient.

  • Add encoding parameter to Client constructors (defaults to ascii).

  • Add flags parameter to write operation methods.

  • Handle unicode key values in MockMemcacheClient correctly.

  • Improve ASCII encoding failure exception.

New in version 2.1.1

  • Fix setup.py dependency on six already being installed.

New in version 2.1.0
