The caching module contains a single writer (updater) - multiple reader cache as used in our project. The semantics of this cache is so that the cache is only modified when no client uses it; i. e. from the view of a client, the cache doesn't change while reading it.

I've uploaded the code to http://www.sschwarzer.net/download/multiple_reader_cache.py http://www.sschwarzer.net/download/_test_multiple_reader_cache.py It would be nice if someone looked at it. (I've done relatively little multithreaded programming so far.) I'm now working on a cache class with atomic access to individual items and with a cleaner thread. If you already have such code, please notify me to avoid unncessesary doubled efforts.
