Python SDK for Momento is experimental and under active development. There could be non-backward compatible changes or removal in the future. Please be aware that you may need to update your source code with the current version of the SDK when its version gets upgraded.
Python SDK for Momento, a serverless cache that automatically scales without any of the operational overhead required by traditional caching solutions.
- Python 3.7 or above is required
- A Momento Auth Token is required, you can generate one using the Momento CLI
Check out our Python SDK example repo!
import os
import momento.simple_cache_client as simple_cache_client
# Initializing Momento
_MOMENTO_AUTH_TOKEN = os.getenv('MOMENTO_AUTH_TOKEN')
_ITEM_DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS = 60
simple_cache_client.init(_MOMENTO_AUTH_TOKEN, _ITEM_DEFAULT_TTL_SECONDS) as cache_client
# Creating a cache named "cache"
_CACHE_NAME = 'cache'
cache_client.create_cache(_CACHE_NAME)
# Sets key with default TTL and get value with that key
_KEY = 'MyKey'
_VALUE = 'MyValue'
cache_client.set(_CACHE_NAME, _KEY, _VALUE)
get_resp = cache_client.get(_CACHE_NAME, _KEY)
print(f'Looked up Value: {str(get_resp.value())}')
# Sets key with TTL of 5 seconds
cache_client.set(_CACHE_NAME, _KEY, _VALUE, 5)
# Permanently deletes cache
cache_client.delete_cache(_CACHE_NAME)Integration tests require an auth token for testing. Set the env var TEST_AUTH_TOKEN to
provide it. The env TEST_CACHE_NAME is also required, but for now any string value works.
Example of running tests against all python versions:
TEST_AUTH_TOKEN=<auth token> TEST_CACHE_NAME=<cache name> tox
Example of running tests against one specific python version:
TOXENV=py39 TEST_AUTH_TOKEN=<auth token> TEST_CACHE_NAME=<cache name> tox
There is an issue on M1 macs between GRPC native packaging and Python wheel tags. See grpc/grpc#28387 TO WORK AROUND, please install Rosetta 2 and re-run with:
arch -x86_64 TOXENV=py39 TEST_AUTH_TOKEN=<auth token> TEST_CACHE_NAME=<cache name> tox
