"""Caching utilities.""" class cachedproperty: """A decorator for caching a property's result. Similar to `property`, but the wrapped method's result is cached on the instance. This is achieved by setting an entry in the object's instance dictionary with the same name as the property. When the name is later accessed, the value in the instance dictionary takes precedence over the (non-data descriptor) property. This is useful for implementing lazy-loaded properties. The cache can be invalidated via `delattr()`, or by modifying `__dict__` directly. It will be repopulated on next access. .. versionadded:: 6.3.0 """ def __init__(self, func, doc=None): """Initialize the descriptor.""" self.func = self.__wrapped__ = func if doc is None: doc = func.__doc__ self.__doc__ = doc def __get__(self, obj, objtype=None): """Implement descriptor getter.
