Simple High-Performance WSGI Sessions

Project description

Gimlet - Simple High-Performance WSGI Sessions

Scott Torborg - Cart Logic

Gimlet is a Python infrastructure block to provide versatile key-value ‘session’ storage for WSGI applications. The design philosophy is ‘as fast as possible with slow components’, which is to say, I/O load will be minimized, but it will work with fairly simple and mature storage backends. It provides:

  • Easy setup and configuration

  • Key-value dict-like session access

  • Multiple backend options, including redis and SQL

  • Efficient - absolute minimal I/O load

  • Optional client-side storage for a whitelist of keys

It is also:

  • 2 oz gin

  • 1/2 oz lime juice

  • 1/4 oz simple syrup

  • lime garnish

Installation

Install with pip:

$ pip install gimlet
