 # python-beaker
 
+Beaker is a web session and general caching library that includes WSGI middleware for use in web applications.
+As a general caching library, Beaker can handle storing for various times any Python object that can be pickled with optional back-ends on a fine-grained basis.
+Beaker was built largely on the code from MyghtyUtils, then refactored and extended with database support.
+
+Beaker includes Cache and Session WSGI middleware to ease integration with WSGI capable frameworks, and is automatically used by Pylons http://pylonshq.com/.
+
+Features
+========
+
+* Fast, robust performance
+* Multiple reader/single writer lock system to avoid duplicate simultaneous cache creation
+* Cache back-ends include dbm, file, memory, memcached, and database (Using SQLAlchemy for multiple-db vendor support)
+* Signed cookie's to prevent session hijacking/spoofing
+* Cookie-only sessions to remove the need for a db or file backend (ideal for clustered systems)
+* Extensible Container object to support new back-ends
+* Cache's can be divided into namespaces (to represent templates, objects, etc.) then keyed for different copies
+* Create functions for automatic call-backs to create new cache copies after expiration
+* Fine-grained toggling of back-ends, keys, and expiration per Cache object
