It wraps functions or methods with a decorator that stores their return values, returning cached results on subsequent calls with identical arguments instead of recomputing. This is useful for expensive operations like database queries or API calls that produce the same output for the same inputs.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies beyond Django itself, making it lightweight to add to existing projects. However, it has been abandoned since 2020 and shows no signs of active maintenance. The classifiers indicate support for Django 1.11 and 2.0 with Python 2.7 and 3.4\u20133.6, but these versions are now obsolete, and compatibility with current Django and Python releases is unverified.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (no updates since 2020) and high install friction suggests unresolved dependency issues. Modern Django and Python versions are unsupported and untested. Consider Django's built-in cache framework or a maintained alternative instead."},"id":"django-memoize","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-memoize","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-memoize.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-memoize/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-memoize","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An implementation of memoization technique for Django."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":105065,"position":12722,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.1"}
