Problem
As @kalyanaramansanthanam described above Python offers a solution for optional dependencies. The link above seems not to point to the relevant section anymore but here is a very short summary: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45043494
Additionally, only XXXLock classes whose dependency is available at runtime should be declared (nice to have) to avoid package import failure. This issue will become more problematic as the number of backends increases.
Workaround
macOS:
brew install libmemcached
Ubuntu:
apt-get install libmemcached-dev
PS: This is a fantastic library!
@judahrand Are you the new maintainer now ?
@davidandreoletti I'm certainly planning on trying to get this project modernized and merge in some fixes improvements, etc.
If you're keen to contribute this change/feature please feel feel to open a PR and I'll do my best to support!
I have limited bandwidth for OSS projects and ended up not using this package. Another time perhaps :-)
This should now work. Just need to actually release it -- in the meantime you could install from the repo.
Suggestion: Instead of requiring all 3 backend clients to be installed, please allow an option to only install the backend being used.
