Hi, Cache is a pure OO dbase, so no ORM is required. Cache provides a python equivalent for the Cache class, but not for the Cache properties. Instead, the programmer has to know in advance the properties and their type to get and set them. I want to wrap the Python-cache class and add the Cache properties into the class, but I don't know how to do this. Any ideas?
