It lets you apply caching strategies\u2014TTL, LRU, and others from cachetools\u2014to the results of coroutines, so repeated calls with the same arguments return cached values instead of re-running the async work.\n\nThe package is a thin wrapper around cachetools, adding asyncio compatibility. It is straightforward to use but has been abandoned since late 2022, meaning no active maintenance, no response to issues, and no updates for future Python versions. It works with Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and declares support for current versions, but real-world compatibility with newer releases is unverified.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your codebase is stable on Python 3.8\u20133.10 and you need simple async caching without active maintenance. The package is small, well-scoped, and has no known vulnerabilities. No, if you require ongoing support, compatibility with future Python versions, or expect to file bugs\u2014the maintainer is not active. Consider it a stable utility for existing projects, not a foundation for new ones."},"id":"asyncache","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyncache","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/asyncache.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/asyncache/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-11-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"asyncache","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Helpers to use cachetools with async code."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1328978,"position":4049,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.1"}
