timedLruCache 1.0.1

A time constraint LRUCache Implementation

A time constraint LRUCache Implementation

Installation

pip install timedLruCache

Summary

The timed LRUCache is a dict-like container that is also size limited. It uses the prune method when instantiated with time to remove time expired objects.

Example

Simple LRUCache

from lrucache.lru_cache import LRUCache

lru = LRUCache(maxSize=4)
lru.insert_key_value("a", 99)

lru.insert_key_value("b", 202)
lru["c"] = 203
lru["d"] = 204
lru["e"] = 205

lru.get_value("a")
lru.get("a", None)

print(lru)
print(lru.values())

# LRUCache(timeout=None, size=4, data={'b': 202, 'c': 203, 'd': 204, 'e': 205})
# [202, 203, 204, 205]

# insert into lrucache
lru.insert_key_value("j", 302)
# or
lru["k"] = 403

# retrieve from the lrucache
lru.get_value("z")
# or
lru.get("z", None)

# delete from the lrucache
lru.delete_key("z")
# or
lru.pop("z", None)

Test memoization: Sample use with the decorator

from lrucache.lru_cache import LRUCache
from lrucache.memoize_decorator import memoized_cache

@memoized_cache(cache=LRUCache(maxSize=5))
def get_random(max_value):
    import random
    return random.random() * max_value

print(get_random(1)) # 0.6869437097681024
print(get_random(1)) # 0.6869437097681024
print(get_random(3)) # 1.2792457326076399
print(get_random(4)) # 1.9216226691107239
print(get_random(5)) # 3.442601057826532
print(get_random(5)) # 3.442601057826532
print(get_random(7)) # 0.6831533160972438
print(get_random(8)) # 7.40200570325546
print(get_random(1)) # 0.37636284785825047


print(get_random.misses)
# => 7
print(get_random.hits)
# => 2

# cache info
get_random.cache_info()
# => memoized_cache(hits=2, misses=7, maxsize=5, currsize=5)

# check the cache stored key, value, items pairs
print(get_random.cache.keys())
# => dict_keys([-5205072475343462643, 8575776084210548143, -2238842041537299568, -8811688270097994377, 2613783748954017437])

print(get_random.cache.values())
# => [1.9216226691107239, 3.442601057826532, 0.6831533160972438, 7.40200570325546, 0.37636284785825047]

print(get_random.cache.items())
# => [
#     (-5205072475343462643, 1.9216226691107239), (8575776084210548143, 3.442601057826532),
#     (-2238842041537299568, 0.6831533160972438), (-8811688270097994377, 7.40200570325546),
#     (2613783748954017437, 0.37636284785825047)
# ]


# Simple report on performance
# check report before get_random.reset()
report = f'Hit %: {(float(get_random.hits) / (get_random.hits + get_random.misses))}'
print(report)
# => Hit %: 0.2222222222222222

# reset hits and misses count to zero.
get_random.reset()

Test time constraint

from time import sleep
from lrucache.lru_cache import LRUCache

timed_lru = LRUCache(maxSize=4, timeout=10)

timed_lru["a"] = 202
timed_lru["b"] = 203
timed_lru["c"] = 204
timed_lru["d"] = 205
timed_lru["e"] = 206

# cache size remains 4, after inserting 5 items into cache.
print(timed_lru) # LRUCache(timeout=10, size=4, data={'b': 203, 'c': 204, 'd': 205, 'e': 206})

sleep(60)
# cache should be empty after 60s as it clears its entry after 10s (timeout)
timed_lru["d"] = 203
timed_lru["e"] = 204
timed_lru["f"] = 205
timed_lru["g"] = 206
timed_lru["h"] = 207

# cache now has new entries
print(timed_lru) # LRUCache(timeout=10, size=4, data={'e': 204, 'f': 205, 'g': 206, 'h': 207})

sleep(30)
# cache entry expires after 10s and as a result we have nothing in the cache (data = {}).
print(timed_lru) # LRUCache(timeout=10, size=4, data={})
timed_lru.stop_timer()

    return random.random() * max_value

get_random(1)
get_random(1)
get_random(3)
get_random(4)
get_random(5)
get_random(5)
get_random(7)
get_random(8)
get_random(1)

get_random.cache_info() # memoized_cache(hits=2, misses=7, maxsize=5, currsize=5)

print(get_random.cache.values())
