Ring Let's concentrate on code, not on storages. Ring shows a way to control cache in point of view of code - not about storages. Ring's decorator is convenient but also keeps fluency for general scenarios. asyncio support for Python3.5+! Take advantage of perfectly explicit and fully automated cache interface. Ring decorators convert your functions to cached version of them, with extra control methods. Documentation Full documentation with examples and references: http://ring-cache.readthedocs.io/ Function/method support. asyncio support. Django support. Bulk access support. Function cache import ring import memcache import requests mc = memcache . Client ([ '127.0.0.1:11211' ]) # working for mc, expire in 60sec @ ring . memcache ( mc , time = 60 ) def get_url ( url ): return requests . get ( url ). content # normal way - it is cached data = get_url ( 'http://example.com' ) It is a normal smart cache flow. But ring is different when you want to explicitly control it. # delete the cache get_url . delete ( 'http://example.com' ) # get cached data or None data_or_none = get_url . get ( 'http://example.com' ) # get internal cache key key = get_url . key ( 'http://example.com' ) # and access directly to the backend direct_data = mc . get ( key ) Method cache import ring import redis rc = redis . StrictRedis () class User ( dict ): def __ring_key__ ( self ): return self [ 'id' ] # working for rc, no expiration # using json coder for non-bytes cache data @ ring . redis ( rc , coder = 'json' ) def data ( self ): return self . copy () # parameters are also ok! @ ring . redis ( rc , coder = 'json' ) def child ( self , child_id ): return { 'user_id' : self [ 'id' ], 'child_id' : child_id } user = User ( id = 42 , name = 'Ring' ) # create and get cache user_data = user . data () # cached user [ 'name' ] = 'Ding' # still cached cached_data = user . data () assert user_data == cached_data # refresh updated_data = user . data . update () assert user_data != updated_data # id is the cache key so... user2 = User ( id = 42 ) # still hitting the same cache assert updated_data == user2 . data () Installation PyPI is the recommended way. $ pip install ring To browse versions and tarballs, visit: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ring/ To use memcached or redis, don't forget to install related libraries. For example: python-memcached, python3-memcached, pylibmc, redis-py, Django etc It may require to install and run related services on your system too. Look for memcached and redis for your system.
