Basic caching classes and methods
---------------------------------

- Cache - The generic caching object interfacing with the others
- CacheInRam - providing caching in ram
- CacheOnDisk - provides caches on disk

Memcache is also available via a different module (see gluon.contrib.memcache)

When web2py is running on Google App Engine,
caching will be provided by the GAE memcache
(see gluon.contrib.gae_memcache)

Functions

[hide private]

lazy_cache(key=None, time_expire=None, cache_model='ram')
Can be used to cache any function including ones in modules, as long as the cached function is only called within a web2py request source code

Variables

[hide private]

DEFAULT_TIME_EXPIRE = 300

__package__ = 'gluon'

have_settings = True

logger = <logging.Logger object at 0x2a16550>

lazy_cache(key=None, time_expire=None, cache_model=`'ram'`)

source code

Can be used to cache any function including ones in modules, as long as the cached function is only called within a web2py request

If a key is not provided, one is generated from the function name `time_expire` defaults to None (no cache expiration)

If cache_model is "ram" then the model is current.cache.ram, etc.
