Project description
# Token bucket
A simple rate limiting algorithm. See [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Token_bucket) for a more lengthy discussion of how it works and where it is applicable. In essence, it is a constant rate limiting with temporal pooling. This allows for bursts of activity.
## Memcached sharing
Enables sharing across different processes and servers, useful for rate limiting a shared resource (like a Web API.)
from tokenbucket import SharedTokenBucket
tb = SharedTokenBucket(rate=1.0, maximum=5)
tb.use_memcached_key(‘my_shared_token_bucket’) # or tb.use_memcached_key(‘my_shared_token_bucket’, client=mc)
