IronCache Python Client
IronCache is a scalable, managed cache from Iron.io.
Getting Started
Get Credentials
To use IronCache, you need to sign up and get your OAuth token.
Install iron_cache_python
You can install iron_cache_python in two ways:
pip/easy_install
iron_cache_python is available in the Python Package Index as "iron_cache".
This means you can run pip install iron_cache
or easy_install iron_cache
from your command line to download iron_cache_python and all its dependencies.
From Source
You can also download the source
from Github. Once you have the source, you can run python setup.py install

Note: You will need the iron_core_python module for iron_cache_python to function.
Configure Your Client
iron_cache_python conforms to the standard Iron.io configuration scheme that all official libraries use. This means your config files will work across languages and products.
