Central control over the cache and its parameters is definitely a big plus. In my use case, the objects hold references to large blocks of GPU memory that should be freed as soon as possible. Additionally, I use cached_method to cache expensive hash calculations which the alternatives cannot do because they would run into bottomless recursion. Caching methods looks to be significantly more complex than caching functions because there are multiple possible priorities, e.g. fast gc, performance, cross-instance cache hits, caching __hash__. Do you think, in the face of these ambiguities, that the stdlib should potentially just not cover this? Though there is already the shared, global cache alternative in applying @lru_cache to a method. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45588> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
