Package: python-dogpile.cache (0.6.2-5)

caching front-end based on the Dogpile lock - Python 2.x

A caching API built around the concept of a "dogpile lock", which allows continued access to an expiring data value while a single thread generates a new value.

dogpile.cache builds on the dogpile.core locking system (see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dogpile.core), which implements the idea of "allow one creator to write while others read" in the abstract. Overall, dogpile.cache is intended as a replacement to the Beaker (see http://beaker.groovie.org) caching system, the internals of which are written by the same author. All the ideas of Beaker which "work" are re-implemented in dogpile.cache in a more efficient and succinct manner, and all the cruft (Beaker's internals were first written in 2005) relegated to the trash heap.

This package provides the Python 2.x module.
