title: Error when memcached is down
body: <p>I'm trying to catch an error in memcached when this one is down with python:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import memcache
  import socket
  mc = memcache.Client(['127.0.0.1:11211'], debug=1)
  
  try:
      print mc.get('gfdsgf')
  except socket.error:
     print 'error'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I still have this error in my console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MemCached: MemCache: inet:127.0.0.1:11211: connect: Connection refused.  Marking dead.
  None
  </code></pre>
