Scott Torborg - Cart Logic <http://www.cartlogic.com>_

Gimlet is a Python infrastructure block to provide versatile key-value 'session' storage for WSGI applications. The design philosophy is 'as fast as possible with slow components', which is to say, I/O load will be minimized, but it will work with fairly simple and mature storage backends. It provides:

• Easy setup and configuration
• Key-value dict-like session access
• Multiple backend options, including redis and SQL
• Efficient - absolute minimal I/O load
• Optional client-side storage for a whitelist of keys

It is also:

• 2 oz gin
• 1/2 oz lime juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• lime garnish
