A decorator for caching properties in classes.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
* Makes caching of time or computational expensive properties quick and easy.
|
|
* Because I got tired of copy/pasting this code from non-web project to non-web project.
|
|
* I needed something really simple that worked in Python 2 and 3.
|
|
(Python 3.8 added a version of this decorator as [`@functools.cached_property`](https://docs.python.org/3.12/library/functools.html#functools.cached_property).)
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
|
|
Let's define a class with an expensive property. Every time you stay there the
|
|
price goes up by $50!
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class Monopoly:
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.boardwalk_price = 500
|
|
|
|
@property
|
|
def boardwalk(self):
|
|
# In reality, this might represent a database call or time
|
|
# intensive task like calling a third-party API.
|
|
self.boardwalk_price += 50
|
|
return self.boardwalk_price
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now run it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
600
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's convert the boardwalk property into a `cached_property`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from cached_property import cached_property
|
|
|
|
class Monopoly(object):
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.boardwalk_price = 500
|
|
|
|
@cached_property
|
|
def boardwalk(self):
|
|
# Again, this is a silly example. Don't worry about it, this is
|
|
# just an example for clarity.
|
|
self.boardwalk_price += 50
|
|
return self.boardwalk_price
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now when we run it the price stays at $550.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Why doesn't the value of `monopoly.boardwalk` change? Because it's a **cached property**!
|
|
|
|
## Invalidating the Cache
|
|
|
|
Results of cached functions can be invalidated by outside forces. Let's demonstrate how to force the cache to invalidate:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
550
|
|
>>> # invalidate the cache
|
|
>>> del monopoly.__dict__['boardwalk']
|
|
>>> # request the boardwalk property again
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
600
|
|
>>> monopoly.boardwalk
|
|
600
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Working with Threads
|
|
|
|
What if a whole bunch of people want to stay at Boardwalk all at once? This means using threads, which
|
|
unfortunately causes problems with the standard `cached_property`. In this case, switch to using the
|
|
`threaded_cached_property`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from cached_property import threaded_cached_property
|
|
|
|
class Monopoly:
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.boardwalk_price = 500
|
|
|
|
@threaded_cached_property
|
|
def boardwalk(self):
|
|
"""threaded_cached_property is really nice for when no one waits
|
|
for other people to finish their turn and rudely start rolling
|
|
dice and moving their pieces."""
|
|
|
|
sleep(1)
|
|
self.boardwalk_price += 50
|
|
return self.boardwalk_price
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now use it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> from threading import Thread
|
|
>>> from monopoly import Monopoly
|
|
>>> monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
>>> threads = []
|
|
>>> for x in range(10):
|
|
>>> thread = Thread(target=lambda: monopoly.boardwalk)
|
|
>>> thread.start()
|
|
>>> threads.append(thread)
|
|
|
|
>>> for thread in threads:
|
|
>>> thread.join()
|
|
|
|
>>> self.assertEqual(m.boardwalk, 550)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Working with async/await
|
|
|
|
The cached property can be async, in which case you have to use await
|
|
as usual to get the value. Because of the caching, the value is only
|
|
computed once and then cached:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from cached_property import cached_property
|
|
|
|
class Monopoly:
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
self.boardwalk_price = 500
|
|
|
|
@cached_property
|
|
async def boardwalk(self):
|
|
self.boardwalk_price += 50
|
|
return self.boardwalk_price
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now use it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> async def print_boardwalk():
|
|
... monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
... print(await monopoly.boardwalk)
|
|
... print(await monopoly.boardwalk)
|
|
... print(await monopoly.boardwalk)
|
|
>>> import asyncio
|
|
>>> asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(print_boardwalk())
|
|
550
|
|
550
|
|
550
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this does not work with threading either, most asyncio
|
|
objects are not thread-safe. And if you run separate event loops in
|
|
each thread, the cached version will most likely have the wrong event
|
|
loop. To summarize, either use cooperative multitasking (event loop)
|
|
or threading, but not both at the same time.
|
|
|
|
## Timing out the cache
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you want the price of things to reset after a time. Use the `ttl`
|
|
versions of `cached_property` and `threaded_cached_property`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import random
|
|
from cached_property import cached_property_with_ttl
|
|
|
|
class Monopoly(object):
|
|
|
|
@cached_property_with_ttl(ttl=5) # cache invalidates after 5 seconds
|
|
def dice(self):
|
|
# I dare the reader to implement a game using this method of 'rolling dice'.
|
|
return random.randint(2,12)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now use it:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> monopoly = Monopoly()
|
|
>>> monopoly.dice
|
|
10
|
|
>>> monopoly.dice
|
|
10
|
|
>>> from time import sleep
|
|
>>> sleep(6) # Sleeps long enough to expire the cache
|
|
>>> monopoly.dice
|
|
3
|
|
>>> monopoly.dice
|
|
3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The `ttl` tools do not reliably allow the clearing of the cache. This
|
|
is why they are broken out into seperate tools. See https://github.com/pydanny/cached-property/issues/16.

## Credits
|
|
|
|
* Pip, Django, Werkzeug, Bottle, Pyramid, and Zope for having their own implementations. This package originally used an implementation that matched the Bottle version.
|
|
* Reinout Van Rees for pointing out the `cached_property` decorator to me.
|
|
* My awesome wife [@audreyfeldroy](https://github.com/audreyfeldroy) who created [`cookiecutter`](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter), which meant rolling this out took me just 15 minutes.
|
|
* @tinche for pointing out the threading issue and providing a solution.
|
|
* @bcho for providing the time-to-expire feature
