Description

methodtools =========== Expand functools features to methods, classmethods, staticmethods and even for (unofficial) hybrid methods. For now, methodtools only provides `methodtools.lru_cache`. Use `methodtools` module instead of `functools` module. Than it will work as you expected. .. code:: python from methodtools import lru_cache class A(object): # cached method. the storage lifetime follows `self` object @lru_cache() def cached_method(self, args): ... # cached classmethod. the storage lifetime follows `A` class @lru_cache() # the order is important! @classmethod # always lru_cache on top of classmethod def cached_classmethod(self, args): ... # cached staticmethod. the storage lifetime follows `A` class @lru_cache() # the order is important! @staticmethod # always lru_cache on top of staticmethod def cached_staticmethod(self, args): ... @lru_cache() # just same as functools.lru_cache def cached_function(): ... Installation ------------ PyPI is the recommended way. .. sourcecode:: shell $ pip install methodtools To browse versions and tarballs, visit: `<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/methodtools/>`_ .. note:: If you are working on Python 2, install also `functools32`.
