Web cache

Python module for simple key-value storage backed up by sqlite3 database. The typical use case is a URL to HTTP data cache, but it can also be used for non web ressources.

Features

• Simple dict interface allows natural usage (if key in cache, value = cache[key], etc.)
• Optional Zlib (deflate), BZIP2, LZMA or ZSTD (Zstandard) compression, with configurable compression level
• FIFO or LRU cache eviction strategies
• Optional thread safe interface to work around Python Sqlite3 'same thread' limitation
• Provides cache hit rate statistics

Installation (from PyPI, with PIP)

web_cache requires Python >= 3.4.

1. If you don't already have it, install pip for Python 3
2. Install web_cache: pip3 install web_cache
