cachingutils

Utilities to make caching data easier

Examples

Basic caching:

from cachingutils import cached


@cached()
def fib(n: int) -> int:
    if n < 2:
        return n
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

print(fib(100))  # 354224848179261915075

Caching with your own cache object:

from cachingutils import Cache, cached


my_cache = Cache()

@cached(cache=my_cache)
def fib(n: int) -> int:
    if n < 2:
        return n
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

print(fib(100))  # 354224848179261915075

Caching with an LRU cache:

from cachingutils import LRUCache, cached


@cached(cache=LRUCache(2, timeout=60), include_posargs=[0])
def fetch_thing(thing_id: int, thing_name: str) -> tuple[int, str]:
    return thing_id, thing_name  # Imagine this is a call to an API

print(fetch_thing(123, "456"))  # (123, "456")
print(fetch_thing(123, "789"))  # (123, "456")

fetch_thing(567, "789")
fetch_thing(789, "456")

print(fetch_thing(123, "456"))  # Cache miss

Async caching:

from asyncio import run

from cachingutils import acached


@acached()
async def fib(n: int) -> int:
    if n < 2:
        return n
    return await fib(n - 1) + await fib(n - 2)

print(run(fib(100)))  # 354224848179261915075

Caching specific positional args:

from cachingutils import cached


@cached(include_posargs=[0])
async def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

print(add(1, 2))  # 3
print(add(2, 2))  # 3
print(add(2, 3))  # 5

Caching specific keyword args:

from cachingutils import cached


@cached(include_posargs=[0], include_kwargs=['c'])
def add(a: int, b: int, *, c: int) -> int:
    return a + b

print(add(1, 2, c=3))  # 3
print(add(2, 2, c=3))  # 4
print(add(2, 3, c=3))  # 4

Caching with a timeout:

from time import sleep

from cachingutils import cached


@cached(timeout=1, include_posargs=[0])
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

print(add(1, 2))  # 3
print(add(1, 3))  # 3
sleep(2)
print(add(1, 3))  # 4

Using a raw Cache object:

from time import sleep

from cachingutils import Cache


my_cache: Cache[str, int] = Cache(timeout=5)

my_cache["abc"] = 123

print(my_cache["abc"])  # 123

sleep(6)

print(my_cache["abc"])  # KeyError: 'abc'

---

All of the above decorators also work within classes:

from cachingutils import cached


class MyClass:
    @cached()
    def fib(self, n: int) -> int:
        if n < 2:
            return n
        return self.fib(n - 1) + self.fib(n - 2)


my_class = MyClass()

print(my_class.fib(100))  # 354224848179261915075
