File-based cache for slow Python functions

In plain words

This is a file-based caching tool for Python developers who work with slow functions. It stores function results locally to avoid redundant computations, speeding up repeated operations. The tool integrates into Python workflows to reduce execution time when functions produce the same outputs for identical inputs. It's designed for developers looking to optimize performance without restructuring their code.

  FunctionCacher, a Python cache-to-disk utility2024 · gitlab.com · ▲6

  The FunctionCacher Python utility provides a way to cache the result of a (computation- or IO-heavy) function call to a location on the filesystem, ideally onto a ramdisk/tmpfs. This allows caches to exceed the lifetime of the program, which is useful for rapid-prototyping (& rapid-crashing) scripts. Caches are generated based function name, parameters, and code.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
