PyMemCacheConsole

A minimal Python library and CLI client for Memcached.

Features

• Simple CLI: set/get and additional storage verbs (add, replace, append, prepend)
• Defaults to host=localhost and port=11211
• Works as a module runner or installed console script pmcc

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• A running Memcached server

Installation (dev)

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -e .

Usage

Run as a module without installing:

python -m pymemcacheconsole.cli -?              # help
python -m pymemcacheconsole.cli -H localhost -p 11211 set mykey myvalue
python -m pymemcacheconsole.cli --host localhost --port 11211 get mykey

After installing, use the pmcc command:

pmcc -?  
pmcc -H your.memcached.host -p 12121 set testkey testvalue
pmcc -H your.memcached.host -p 12121 get testkey

Notes

• Keys with a trailing slash are trimmed automatically (e.g., testkey/ -> testkey).
• For storage commands, the client prints the raw server response (STORED, NOT_STORED, etc.).
• For retrieval, values are printed as key => value or (nil) if not found.

Development

Run tests:

source .venv/bin/activate
pytest -q
