## Description

## Typing stubs for cachetools

This is a [type stub package](https://typing.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/external_libraries.html)
for the [`cachetools`](https://github.com/tkem/cachetools) package. It can be used by type checkers
to check code that uses `cachetools`. This version of
`types-cachetools` aims to provide accurate annotations for
`cachetools==7.0.*`.

*Note:* The `cachetools` package includes type annotations or type stubs
since version 7.1.0. Please uninstall the `types-cachetools`
package if you use this or a newer version.


This package is part of the [typeshed project](https://github.com/python/typeshed).
All fixes for types and metadata should be contributed there.
See [the README](https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/main/README.md)
for more details. The source for this package can be found in the
[`stubs/cachetools`](https://github.com/python/typeshed/tree/main/stubs/cachetools)
directory.

This package was tested with the following type checkers:
* [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy/) 2.2.0
* [pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright) 1.1.411

It was generated from typeshed...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides type annotations for the cachetools library, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses cachetools.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained type-stub package for cachetools 7.0.x with no security vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Suitable for projects needing static type checking support, though obsolete if upgrading cachetools to 7.1.0 or newer.
