It provides the lru_cache decorator and other functools utilities that were introduced in Python 3.2 but were not available in Python 2.7's standard library. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a drop-in replacement for the functools module on Python 2.7.\n\nThis package is now obsolete for new projects, as Python 3 has had functools built-in since its inception.
