12427	cmemcache has been retired / add support for cmemcached	Ulrich Petri	otherjacob	"The cmemcache [1] interface has been ""retired"". [[BR]]
The memcache page [2] even states: ""Note: this library is deprecated, old, buggy, you should '''not''' use it"".

The recommended alternative seems to be python-libmemcached [3]. 

Unfortunately python-libmemcached installs as ""cmemcached"" (note the '''d''') - so it doesn't get imported by django.

A feature request to include support for cmemcached was already posted in #10430. That ticket was closed wontfix at the time but I think in light of cmemcache being deprecated this decision should be revisited.
