Research direction

Start by reviewing how other Python packages are built and organized in this repository, then compare those conventions with the author's referenced project for building pylibmc for AWS Lambda. Done means pylibmc is added in a way that handles its libmemcached dependency and is compatible with the repository's Lambda packages.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be great to add pylibmc, to take care of that pesky libmemcached stuff :)

I actually have a github project that builds this for lambda. Its a little different that the way other packages are built here, I'll open a PR and get feedback :)
