Another option is we could fork Python-Memcached and maintain it ourselves
(I would prefer to use pylibmc). But for a strictly pure Python
implementation it might make sense to do this.

Pymemcache is also another option, but was missing basic features last time
I looked / behaved significantly different (no mulit server support, etc).
We should revisit looking at pymemcache as well if we are looking at
pylibmc.

For the record, Python-memcached has at best been sporadically maintained
for the last year. This topic has come up a few times.
