this one has TTL support like the perl one 😄 https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary#Cached_Properties
also, this code should be move to vsc-base

[itkovian]

Yes.

[itkovian]

Also, Perl? :p

[JensTimmerman]

wel I don't think we want ttl support? We could go for the easy option and use the lru_cache decorator
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.lru_cache then
edit: nvmd, doesn't work on properties I think

[stdweird]

not sure, but if we are going to add some more code we didn't write to vsc-base, why not use the one with most features? the python exmaples is not some random guys blog imho

[itkovian]

There is nothing wrong with code reuse, under the correct license, no?

[JensTimmerman]

right, link had to be https://bugs.python.org/issue21145 (reached that from the blog's going forward section )

[itkovian]

More decorators should be used.
