Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply.
Here's a typical use case for me. I often have methods like this:
def facebook_user_cache_key(uid):
return str(uid) + "_fbuser"
def get_facebook_user(uid):
u = memcache.get(facebook_user_cache_key(uid))
if u == None:
uid = int(uid)
u = FacebookUser.all().filter('uid = ',uid).get()
if not u:
u = FacebookUser(uid=uid)
u.put()
memcache.set(facebook_user_cache_key(uid),u)
return u
and I often get support emails from users, and would often like to be
able to dive in to the remote api console and load up their entity by
typing in get_facebook_user(THEIR_UID).
this is a trivial example - in some of the apps I have several layers
of entity that need to be loaded. I already have great convenience
methods for dealing with this process, but I can't use them in remote
api because they rely on memcache. so either I implement a
dont_use_memcache param, or else I write parallel methods that don't
use memcache.
or, another even simpler use case -- sometimes I update an entity, and
then want to delete any affected cache.
but HEY, are you calling me not dedicated? them's fighting words.
will break open the source.
