AttributeError: module 'memcache' has no attribute 'Client'

Question

Recently I implemented lock.py in my python project for locking threads, using memcached. However I encoutered an error which I have trouble solving. It says that memcache does not containt attribute Client. I am not using Client directly, I believe it's just being called inside the imported modules. I have installed both dogpile.cache==1.1.5 and python-memcached==1.59 using pip. Could someone please help me?

Here is the full error message:
