cacholote

Efficiently cache calls to functions

Quick Start

>>> import cacholote
>>> cacholote.config.set(cache_db_urlpath="sqlite://")
<cacholote.config.set ...

>>> @cacholote.cacheable
... def now():
...     import datetime
...     return datetime.datetime.now()

>>> now() == now()
True

>>> with cacholote.config.set(use_cache=False):
...     now() == now()
False

Cache files

>>> import cacholote

>>> import tempfile
>>> tmpdir = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory().name
>>> cacholote.config.set(
...     cache_db_urlpath="sqlite://",
...     cache_files_urlpath=tmpdir,
... )
<cacholote.config.set ...

>>> cached_open = cacholote.cacheable(open)
>>> cached_file = cached_open("README.md")
>>> cached_file.name.startswith(tmpdir)
True

>>> import filecmp
>>> filecmp.cmp("README.md", cached_file.name)
True

Cache Xarray objects

>>> import cacholote

>>> import pytest
>>> xr = pytest.importorskip("xarray")

>>> import tempfile
>>> tmpdir = tempfile.TemporaryDirectory().name
>>> cacholote.config.set(
...     cache_db_urlpath="sqlite://",
...     cache_files_urlpath=tmpdir,
... )
<cacholote.config.set ...

>>> @cacholote.cacheable
... def dataset_from_dict(ds_dict):
...     return xr.Dataset(ds_dict)

>>> ds = dataset_from_dict({"foo": 0})
>>> ds
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  ()
Data variables:
    foo      int64 ...

>>> ds.encoding["source"].startswith(tmpdir)
True

Configuration

Configuration settings can be accessed using cacholote.config.get() and modified using cacholote.config.set(**kwargs). It is possible to use cacholote.config.set either as a context manager, or to configure global settings. See help(cacholote.config.set).

Defaults are controlled by environment variables and dotenv files. See help(cacholote.config.reset).

Workflow for developers/contributors

For best experience create a new conda environment (e.g. DEVELOP) with Python 3.11:

conda create -n DEVELOP -c conda-forge python=3.11
conda activate DEVELOP

Before pushing to GitHub, run the following commands:

1. Update conda environment: make conda-env-update
2. Install this package: pip install -e .
3. Sync with the latest template (optional): make template-update
4. Run quality assurance checks: make qa
5. Run tests: make unit-tests
6. Run the static type checker: make type-check
7. Build the documentation (see Sphinx tutorial): make docs-build
