Summary

Today, the author proudly presents bmemcached-cli, a Python wrapper around python-binary-memcached that provides an easy way to interact with a Memcached bucket via a command line interface. The tool supports Simple Security and Authentication Layer (SASL) authentication, which is unique among Memcached clients. The author's company, Redis, offers a similar service for Memcached built on top of their Redis technology, and the Memcached Cloud service allows users to configure SASL authentication with ease. Unlike other CLI tools that only support plaintext protocol, bmemcached-cli also supports the binary protocol when SASL is enabled. The tool was written by standing on the shoulders of Andrew W. Gross's existing work, and it provides a useful solution for interacting with Memcached buckets in a secure manner.
