repoze.lru API

Module: repoze.lru

LRU caching class and decorator

class repoze.lru.LRUCache(size)

Implements a pseudo-LRU algorithm (CLOCK)

The Clock algorithm is not kept strictly to improve performance, e.g. to allow get() and invalidate() to work without acquiring the lock.

clear()

Remove all entries from the cache

get(key, default=None)

Return value for key. If not in cache, return default

put(key, val)

Add key to the cache with value val

invalidate(key)

Remove key from the cache

class repoze.lru.ExpiringLRUCache(size, default_timeout=1152921504606846976)

Implements a pseudo-LRU algorithm (CLOCK) with expiration times

The Clock algorithm is not kept strictly to improve performance, e.g. to allow get() and invalidate() to work without acquiring the lock.

clear()

Remove all entries from the cache

get(key, default=None)

Return value for key. If not in cache or expired, return default

put(key, val, timeout=None)

Add key to the cache with value val

key will expire in $timeout seconds. If key is already in cache, val and timeout will be updated.

invalidate(key)

Remove key from the cache

class repoze.lru.lru_cache(maxsize, cache=None, timeout=None, ignore_unhashable_args=False)

Decorator for LRU-cached function

timeout parameter specifies after how many seconds a cached entry should be considered invalid.

class repoze.lru.CacheMaker(maxsize=None, timeout=1152921504606846976)

Generates decorators that can be cleared later

lrucache(name=None, maxsize=None)

Named arguments:

• name (optional) is a string, and should be unique amongst all caches
• maxsize (optional) is an int, overriding any default value set by the constructor

clear(*names)

Clear the given cache(s).

If no ‘names’ are passed, clear all caches.
