The upstream memcache Python interface does not, as I understand it. *************************************** On 9 juin, 20:45, Sylvain <[email protected]> wrote: > I've already ask for this and the answer (in this group) from a > Googler is now you can use both : > > memcache.add(name, str(total), 60) > or > memcache.add(name, total, 60) > > On 8 juin, 21:09, Wooble <[email protected]> wrote: > > > It's a requirement of memcached; the incr command in the underlying > > protocol operates on a string it treats as an ASCII representation of > > an integer. > > > I believe memcache stores everything as a string, although the library > > has some magic in it to allow you to store any datatype it can pickle. > > > On Jun 8, 1:26 pm, Ethan Post <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I am using the code found here. > > > >http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/sharding_counters.html > > > > Upon using this I noticed that it would return an int the first time and a > > > str the second.
