Does python-memcache use consistent hashing?
I'm using the python-memcache library, and I'm wondering if anyone knows if consistent hashing is used by that client as of 1.44.

If you need something like that you might be interested in hash_ring

From a quick view into the source code: No it does not. It uses server = hash_key % len(servers) and round-robin if offline/full servers are encountered.
