Replying to [comment:9 nbruin]:
> It's a space after a colon on a line you introduce, not some whitespace
on an empty line left by an auto-indenting editor.
So?
> That's not what I meant. You can first write the temp file and then
unlink the old one and move the new one in place. Presently the old cache
file is already gone while you're writing the new one. An old cache file
is better than none at all, it seems in this setting?
Or one could argue that a potentially stale cache is worse than a non-
existent one. Doesn't really matter either way, serializing a dict takes
no time.
