Momento Cache is a fast, simple, pay-as-you-go caching solution without any of the operational overhead required by traditional caching solutions. This repo contains the source code for the Momento client library for Python.
To get started with Momento you will need a Momento Auth Token. You can get one from the Momento Console.

The Momento Python SDK package is available on pypi: momento.
- A Momento API key is required, you can generate one using the Momento Console
- A Momento service endpoint is required. You can find a list of them here
Python 3.10 introduced the match statement, which allows for structural pattern matching on objects.
If you are running python 3.10 or greater, here is a quickstart you can use in your own project:
from datetime import timedelta
from momento import CacheClient, Configurations, CredentialProvider
from momento.responses import CacheGet
cache_client = CacheClient(
Configurations.Laptop.v1(), CredentialProvider.from_environment_variables_v2(), timedelta(seconds=60)
)
cache_client.create_cache("cache")
cache_client.set("cache", "my-key", "my-value")
get_response = cache_client.get("cache", "my-key")
match get_response:
case CacheGet.Hit() as hit:
print(f"Got value: {hit.value_string}")
case _:
print(f"Response was not a hit: {get_response}")The above code uses structural pattern matching, a feature introduced in Python 3.10. Using a Python version less than 3.10? No problem. Here is the same example compatible across all versions of Python:
from datetime import timedelta
from momento import CacheClient, Configurations, CredentialProvider
from momento.responses import CacheGet
cache_client = CacheClient(
configuration=Configurations.Laptop.v1(),
credential_provider=CredentialProvider.from_environment_variables_v2(),
default_ttl=timedelta(seconds=60),
)
cache_client.create_cache("cache")
cache_client.set("cache", "myKey", "myValue")
get_response = cache_client.get("cache", "myKey")
if isinstance(get_response, CacheGet.Hit):
print(f"Got value: {get_response.value_string}")Documentation is available on the Momento Docs website.
Working example projects, with all required build configuration files, are available for both Python 3.10 and up and Python versions before 3.10:
