cached_property() - computed once per instance, cached as attribute

Project description

https://travis-ci.com/penguinolog/backports.cached_property.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/backports.cached-property.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/backports.cached-property.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/status/backports.cached-property.svg https://img.shields.io/github/license/penguinolog/backports.cached_property.svg https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg

What

Python 3.8 adds great descriptor to functools: cached_property. Technically all required APIs was available since python 3.6, but it is what it is.

This package is a backport of this functionality for python 3.6 and 3.7.

How to use

from backports.cached_property import cached_property

And then python 3.8 documentation will work (because code is minimally changed):

Transform a method of a class into a property whose value is computed once and then cached as a normal attribute for the life of the instance. Similar to property, with the addition of caching. Useful for expensive computed properties of instances that are otherwise effectively immutable.

Example:

class DataSet:
    def __init__(self, sequence_of_numbers):
        self._data = sequence_of_numbers

    @cached_property
    def stdev(self):
        return statistics.stdev(self._data)

    @cached_property
    def variance(self):
        return statistics.variance(self._data)
