cachetools
========================================================================
This module provides various memoizing collections and decorators,
including a variant of the Python 3 Standard Library
`functools.lru_cache` function decorator.
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> from cachetools import LRUCache
>>> cache = LRUCache(maxsize=2)
>>> cache.update([('first', 1), ('second', 2)])
>>> cache
LRUCache([('second', 2), ('first', 1)], maxsize=2, currsize=2)
>>> cache['third'] = 3
>>> cache
LRUCache([('second', 2), ('third', 3)], maxsize=2, currsize=2)
>>> cache['second']
2
>>> cache['fourth'] = 4
LRUCache([('second', 2), ('fourth', 4)], maxsize=2, currsize=2)
For the purpose of this module, a *cache* is a mutable_ mapping_ of a
fixed maximum *size*. When the cache is full, i.e. the current size
of the cache exceeds its maximum size, the cache must choose which
item(s) to discard based on a suitable `cache algorithm`_.
In general, a cache's size is the sum of the size of its items. If
the size of each items is ``1``, a cache's size is equal to the number
of its items, i.e. ``len()``. An items's size may also be a property
or function of its value, e.g. the result of ``sys.getsizeof()``, or
``len`` for string and sequence values.
This module provides various cache implementations based on different
cache algorithms, as well as decorators for easily memoizing function
and method calls.
