Simple response cache for FlickrAPI calls.

This stores max 50 entries, timing them out after 120 seconds: >>> cache = SimpleCache(timeout=120, max_entries=50)

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, timeout=300, max_entries=200)
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

source code

locking(method)
Method decorator, ensures the method call is locked

source code

get(self, *args, **kwargs)
Fetch a given key from the cache.

source code

set(self, *args, **kwargs)
Set a value in the cache.

source code

delete(self, *args, **kwargs)
Deletes a key from the cache, failing silently if it doesn't exist.

source code

has_key(self, *args, **kwargs)
Returns True if the key is in the cache and has not expired.

source code

__contains__(self, *args, **kwargs)
Returns True if the key is in the cache and has not expired.

source code

cull(self, *args, **kwargs)
Reduces the number of cached items

source code

__len__(self, *args, **kwargs)
Returns the number of cached items -- they might be expired though.

init(self, timeout=300, max_entries=200)
(Constructor)

source code

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

get(self, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Fetch a given key from the cache. If the key does not exist, return default, which itself defaults to None.

Decorators:

@locking

set(self, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Set a value in the cache. If timeout is given, that timeout will be used for the key; otherwise the default cache timeout will be used.

Decorators:

@locking

delete(self, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Deletes a key from the cache, failing silently if it doesn't exist.

Decorators:

@locking

has_key(self, *args, **kwargs)
