I would like to have us adopt a memoizing caching library of some kind
for use with OpenStack projects. I have no strong preference at this
time and I would like suggestions on what to use.
I have seen a number of patches where people have begun to implement
their own caches in dictionaries. This
Top posting to point out that:
In Python3 there is a generic memoizer in functools called lru_cache.
And here is a backport to Python 2.7:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/functools32
That leaves Python 2.6. Maybe some clever wrapping in Oslo can make it
available to all versions?

So to me memoizing is typically a premature optimization in a lot of cases. And
doing it incorrectly leads to overfilling the python processes memory (your
global dict will have objects in it that can't be garbage collected, and with
enough keys+values being stored will act just like a memory
Hi,
First, I think common routines are great. More DRY is always good.
Second, my personal feeling is that when you see a hard-coded in-memory
cache like this, it's probably something that should be moved to be
behind a more generic caching framework that allows for different
backends such
The fact that it is already in the requirements list makes it a top
contender in my mind, unless we find some major issue with it.

Sure, no cancelling cases of conscious usage, but we need to be careful
here and make sure its really appropriate. Caching and invalidation
techniques are right up there in terms of problems that appear easy and
simple to initially do/use, but doing it correctly is really really hard
