Description: 
        # memcache_lock  
        Simple locking mechanism for Python 2.7 GAE, using memcache  
          
        ## Usage  
          
        Import the UUIDLock class in any app engine module  
          
        ```  
        from memcache_lock import UUIDLock  
        ```  
          
        Acquire the lock  
          
        ```  
        lock_helper = UUIDLock(key='lock_key')  
        lock_helper.lock()  
        ```  
          
        Release the lock  
          
        ```  
        lock_helper.release()  
        ```  
          
        ## Options  
          
        ### You use other kwargs to control the lock mechanism  
          
          
        Send default_timeout in secs to change the time after with the lock will be released automatically  
        ```  
        lock_helper = UUIDLock(key='lock_key', default_timeout=3600)  
        ```  
        **NOTE**: default value for timeout is 24 hours  
          
          
        Send force_lock as True to acquire lock even if some other application already has lock on the key  
        ```  
        lock_helper = UUIDLock(key='lock_key', force_lock=True)  
        ```  
        **NOTE**: default value for force_lock is False  
          
          
        Send max_wait_time in secs to raise Exception if lock is not acquired after waiting for max_wait_time  
        ```  
        lock_helper = UUIDLock(key='lock_key', max_wait_time=120)  
        ```  
        **NOTE**: default value for max_wait_time is 60 secs
