When building in-memory caches, it's typical to use a weak reference system 
(like a WeakHashMap in Java) so you don't have to rely on heuristics for how 
much memory you should use. Googling around, I found a thing called 
WeakValueDictionary in python. Anyone here have experience using one of these 
in GAE?
