pylibmc VS django-haystack

I do hope Pinterest would fund memcached development going forward, especially the language clients for memcached. I've been using pylibmc to access memcached fast, and that project seems to be almost dead (https://github.com/lericson/pylibmc/issues).

I've spent a lot of time on this and it's clearly beyond my newbie understanding/skills. I tried to install django-heroku-memcacheify with pip install, which throws errors. I tracked the problem down to pylibmc, which is causing all the problems. Here's one of the interesting parts of the error log:

Haystack Source: https://github.com/toastdriven/django-haystack/blob/master/haystack/backends/elasticsearch_backend.py (the build_search_kwargs method is what I suspect I need to change)
