Description:

pygibson 0.2.1

Version:
0.2.1

pygibson
Python client for gibson cache server.

Which python versions are supported?
Currently testsuite runs with python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
All tests are passing successfully with PyPy 2.0.2 but since pygibson is
implemented as CPython extension it’s not recommended to use it with PyPy. We
need to find some workaround to this later.

How to install?
pip install pygibson
or
git clone https://github.com/bak1an/pygibson.git
cd pygibson
git submodule update --init
python setup.py install

How to use?
from pygibson import Client
from pygibson import NotFoundError

cl = Client() # defaults, 127.0.0.1:10128, timeout=1000
cl2 = Client(host="192.168.1.33", port=4321, timeout=1500) # non defaults
cl3 = Client(unix_socket="/var/run/gibson.sock", timeout=500) # connects to unix socket with timeout set to 500

cl.set("some_key", "some_value")
print cl.get("some_key") # "some_value" will be printed
try:
cl.get("no_such_key")
except NotFoundError:
print "Yay, no such key!"
