Q:How to use memcached with flask-cache

A: just modify the cache type from "simple" to "memcached",so easy

attention:

the most important thing you should notice is that you should install libmemcached, pylibmc and python-dev. Also, the most important is that the version of libmemcached should match the version of pylibmc,otherwise it would be wrong when pip install pylibmc
