Hi For apps running on Heroku, two of the main memcached options are MemCachier and Memcached Cloud [1]. Both of these control access via SASL authentication, which isn't supported by Django's current pylibmc backend [2], even though pylibmc supports it [3]. As such, currently the django-pylibmc backend has to be used instead [4].
I'd like to add SASL auth support to the Django pylibmc backend to make this unnecessary, which is just a case of passing the relevant parameters through to the pylibmc client during its instantiation [5]. A previous newsgroup discussion about this is at [6]. SASL auth requires binary mode, so I'll also need to add support for that - for which there is already a Django ticket filed [7]. I have a couple of questions: a) Will a PR to add SASL authentication support be accepted? b) If yes to (a), should the `username`, `password` and `binary` fields be added to the top level `CACHES['foo']` dict, or nested inside `OPTIONS` within that? I'm presuming within OPTIONS? Examples: [8].
