This is an implementation of the memcached protocol purely in python.
It provides the text protocol only.  It works over TCP connections
only.  It gives a reasonably true protocol implementation, but it 
provides stats a bit differently than the original, the verbose
option does nothing, and it doesn't do logging in daemon mode.
Run it with the -h option to see what the command-line options are.

The following python packages are required:

python-daemon
pyev

Have fun!
