django-memoize

2.3.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

An implementation of memoization technique for Django views and templates. Current version 2.3.1, with infrequent releases.

pip install django-memoize

Common errors

error ImportError: No module named memoize ↓

cause The package name is 'django-memoize' but the import module is just 'memoize'.

fix

Run 'pip install django-memoize' and then import as 'from memoize import memoize'.

Warnings

gotcha The memoize decorator caches in process memory; for persistent caching across processes (e.g., with Redis or memcached) you need a different library or manual cache layer. ↓

fix Use Django's cache framework directly if cross-process caching is required.

deprecated The library has not been updated in several years and may have compatibility issues with newer Django versions (3.x, 4.x, 5.x). Test thoroughly. ↓

fix Consider using Django's built-in caching or other actively maintained memoization libraries.

Imports

memoize
```
from memoize import memoize
```

Quickstart

Decorate a function with @memoize(seconds) to cache its result for the given number of seconds.

from memoize import memoize

@memoize(3600)
def expensive_function():
    return sum(i for i in range(1000000))
