standard-cache

Redis caching helpers and distributed locks for the standard Python library. The package name is standard-cache; Python imports are under std.cache.

The source package is built and tested. PyPI availability and publisher setup for the add-on have not yet been verified.

After the first PyPI release, install it with:

python -m pip install standard-cache

from std.cache import RedisClient, RedisConfig, cached

cache = RedisClient(RedisConfig(host="localhost", key_prefix="shop:"))
await cache.connect()


@cached(cache, ttl=300)
async def get_product(product_id: int) -> dict[str, str]:
    return await load_product(product_id)


try:
    product = await get_product(42)
finally:
    await cache.close()

RedisClient supports JSON-compatible values, raw bytes, expiration, atomic conditions, key scanning, and prefix-aware deletion. cached and cache_aside preserve sync and async function behavior. DistributedLock and with_lock provide lease-based locks with token-checked release. See the cache guide for lifecycle, serialization, failure, and locking behavior.
