kv-cache 0.3.0

A fast key-value store using SQLite for CLI tools

KV_Cache

A fast key-value store using SQLite as a backend, designed specifically for CLI tools needing persistent cache storage.

Features

• 🚀 Fast SQLite-based storage
• ⏰ Built-in TTL support
• 🔒 Thread-safe operations
• 🧹 Automatic cleanup of expired entries

Installation

pip install kv-cache

Quick Start

from kv_cache import KVStore

# Initialize the store
store = KVStore("cache.db")

# Store a value with 1-hour TTL
store.set("my_key", {"data": "value"}, ttl=3600)

# Retrieve the value
value = store.get("my_key")
print(value)  # {'data': 'value'}

# Delete when done
store.delete("my_key")

Usage with CLI Autocomplete

Perfect for caching slow remote calls in CLI tools:

import time
from kv_cache import KVStore, scache

# directly use the store
def get_autocomplete_suggestions(prefix: str) -> list:
    store = KVStore("~/.mycli/store.db")
    
    # Try cache first
    store_key = f"auto:{prefix}"
    results = store.get(store_key)
    
    if results is None:
        # Cache miss - fetch from remote
        results = fetch_from_remote_server(prefix)  # Slow remote call
        store.set(store_key, results, ttl=3600)  # Cache for 1 hour
    
    return results

# or use the `scache` decorator to easily cache the function result
@scache(ttl=3600, KVStore("~/.mycli/store.db"))
def long_function_call(arg1, arg2, arg3=None):
    time.sleep(1)

long_function_call(1, 2, arg3='test') # will take 1 seconds
long_function_call(1, 2, arg3='test') # instant
