python-memcached is not compatible with twemproxy and the author is not, actively, accepting patches. Given that and Bug 976729#c6, we'd like to evaluate alternatives. https://github.com/pinterest/pymemcache/ is compatible with memcached and the implementation is simple, so we'd like to give it a shot.

Wil, do you have a preference on when we can push this to dev?

Best would be to coordinate with QA so they can run through their testing early - I'd suggest Wednesday morning, but Krupa should have the final say.  Krupa - please let your QA folks that there will be a difference between dev/stage - remember this caused us tracebacks while we were trying to push last time.

It was decided on irc that this will first be tested on altdev to catch all the tracebacks. Oremj seemed fine with the idea.

Enabled on altdev.
