Hi Nitin,

Thanks for response, i was trying to setup the memcached envirionment for django application and i successfully installed the server from the link you provided(thanks again), but when i tried to install the client API from the link “ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/python-memcached/” i got the latest tar file. when i tried to install the setup.py file from it, the following error occurred :

saurabh.dwivedi@saurabhd /cygdrive/c/bin/python-memcached-1.44
$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “setup.py”, line 3, in
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

Please can you help me to sort it out …..

Hi Nitin,
in the above code the path provided to download the source code gives a package which contains files that need to be compiled. i don’t know how to do that on windows. the package contains readme.txt which guides you to install “libevent” . the third step you mentioned i.e. “c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install’ ” doesn’t work as there’s is no memcached.exe is there.
Please check the issue and guide me
