+``python-memcached``, which provides Python bindings to Memcached.
+This is available at ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/python-memcached/
 
-    * The fastest available option is a module called ``cmemcache``, available

+    ``cmemcache`` will be removed completely in Django 1.4.
 
 To use Memcached with Django, set ``CACHE_BACKEND`` to
 ``memcached://ip:port/``, where ``ip`` is the IP address of the Memcached
