Zakuro module used to keep python scripts execution logs and results in a cached memory.

ZakuroCache is a Python package that provides two high-level features:

• A simple decorator to identify the pure functions you want to cache.
• A caching system that never repeats twice the same execution and returns a cached result instead.

You can reuse your favorite Python packages such as NumPy, SciPy and Cython to extend ZakuroCache integration.

Modules

At a granular level, ZakuroCache is a library that consists of the following components:

Component	Description
zakuro_cache	Contains the implementation of the caching system.
zakuro_cache.loggers	Captures stdout into an array during function execution.
zakuro_cache.function	Pipeline to execute, cache, and retrieve results.

Code design

ZakuroCache uses a decorator-based approach to transparent function memoization:

1. The @pure decorator wraps any function to intercept its calls.
2. On each call, a unique hash is computed from the function name, module, arguments, and keyword arguments using MD5.
3. If the hash exists in the cache, the stored result is returned immediately without re-executing the function.
4. If not cached, the function executes inside a Capturing context manager that redirects stdout into a buffer, so both the return value and any printed output are stored together.
5. ZakuroCache is a simple in-memory dictionary-backed store with get/set/set_logger methods.

Installing the application

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.6
• uv (recommended) or pip
• Docker (optional, for containerized execution)

Install with uv

uv pip install .

Install with pip

pip install .

Install in development mode

uv pip install -e .

Docker

docker compose build

Taskfile commands

This project uses Task as a task runner. Install it and run task --list to see all available commands.

Command	Description
task setup	Install prerequisites and verify environment
task help	Show detailed help for all tasks
Build
task build:wheel	Build wheel distribution with uv
task build:sdist	Build source distribution with uv
task build:all	Build wheel and source distribution
task build:clean	Remove dist directory
Docker
task docker:build	Build the Docker image
task docker:run	Run demo in Docker with caching
task docker:run-nocache	Run demo in Docker without caching
task docker:benchmark	Full benchmark (cached vs uncached)
Development
task dev:install	Install the package locally
task dev:demo	Run benchmark demo with caching
task dev:demo-nocache	Run benchmark demo without caching
task dev:demo-compare	Run both for comparison
Python
task python:build	Build the Python package
task python:install	Install via uv
task python:install-dev	Install in development mode
task python:deps	Install dependencies from pyproject.toml
task python:clean	Remove build artifacts

Environments

Variable	Default	Description
NTERMS	35	Number of Fibonacci terms for the benchmark demo

Running the application

Getting started

To apply the cache, add the @pure decorator to your functions:

from zakuro_cache.function import pure

@pure
def recur_fibo(n):
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    else:
        res1, res2 = recur_fibo(n - 1), recur_fibo(n - 2)
        return res1 + res2


if __name__ == "__main__":
    nterms = 35
    for i in range(nterms):
       print(recur_fibo(i))

Performances

Run the benchmark locally:

python demo.py

Or via Docker:

task docker:benchmark
