class
privex.helpers.cache.asyncx.AsyncMemcachedCache.
AsyncMemcachedCache
(use_pickle: bool = None, mcache_instance: aiomcache.client.Client = None, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ A Memcached backed implementation of
AsyncCacheAdapter
. Uses the global Memcached instance fromprivex.helpers.plugin
by default, however custom Memcached instances can be passed in via the constructor argumentmcache_instance
.To allow for a wide variety of Python objects to be safely stored and retrieved from Memcached, this class uses the
pickle
module for serialising + un-serialising values to/from Memcached.Basic Usage:
>>> from privex.helpers import AsyncMemcachedCache >>> rc = AsyncMemcachedCache() >>> await rc.set('hello', 'world') >>> rc['hello'] 'world'
Disabling Pickling
In some cases, you may need interoperable caching with other languages. The
pickle
serialisation technique is extremely specific to Python and is largely unsupported outside of Python. Thus if you need to share Memcached cache data with applications in other languages, then you must disable pickling.WARNING: If you disable pickling, then you must perform your own serialisation + de-serialization on complex objects such as
dict
,list
,Decimal
, or arbitrary classes/functions after getting or setting cache keys.Disabling Pickle per instance
Pass
use_pickle=False
to the constructor, or access the attribute directly to disable pickling for a single instance of MemcachedCache (not globally):>>> rc = AsyncMemcachedCache(use_pickle=False) # Opt 1. Disable pickle in constructor >>> rc.use_pickle = False # Opt 2. Disable pickle on an existing instance
Disabling Pickle by default on any new instances
Change the static attribute
pickle_default
toFalse
to disable the use of pickle by default across any new instances of AsyncMemcachedCache:>>> AsyncMemcachedCache.pickle_default = False
-
__init__
(use_pickle: bool = None, mcache_instance: aiomcache.client.Client = None, *args, **kwargs)[source] AsyncMemcachedCache by default uses the global Memcached instance from
privex.helpers.plugin
.It’s recommended to use
privex.helpers.plugin.configure_memcached_async()
if you need to change any Memcached settings, as this will adjust the global settings and re-instantiate the global instance if required.Alternatively, you may pass an instance of
aiomcache.Client
asmcache_instance
, then that will be used instead of the global instance fromget_memcached_async()
- Parameters
use_pickle (bool) – (Default:
True
) Use the built-inpickle
to serialise values before storing in Memcached, and un-serialise when loading from Memcachedmcache_instance (aiomcache.Client) – If this isn’t
None
/False
, then this Memcached instance will be used instead of the global one fromget_memcached_async()
enter_reconnect (bool) – Pass
enter_reconnect=False
to disable callingreconnect()
when entering this cache adapter as a context manager (__aenter__()
)exit_close (bool) – Pass
exit_close=False
to disable callingclose()
when exiting this cache adapter as a context manager (__aexit__()
)
-
async
close
()[source]¶ Close any cache library connections, and destroy their local class instances by setting them to
None
.
-
async
connect
(*args, new_connection=True, **kwargs) → aiomcache.client.Client[source]¶ Create an instance of the library used to interact with the caching system, ensure it’s connection is open, and store the instance on this class instance - only if not already connected.
Should return the class instance which was created.
-
async
get
(key: Union[bytes, str], default: Any = None, fail: bool = False) → Any[source]¶ Return the value of cache key
key
. If the key wasn’t found, or it was expired, thendefault
will be returned.Optionally, you may choose to pass
fail=True
, which will cause this method to raiseCacheNotFound
instead of returningdefault
when a key is non-existent / expired.- Parameters
key (str) – The cache key (as a string) to get the value for, e.g.
example:test
default (Any) – If the cache key
key
isn’t found / is expired, return this value (Default:None
)fail (bool) – If set to
True
, will raiseCacheNotFound
instead of returningdefault
when a key is non-existent / expired.
- Raises
CacheNotFound – Raised when
fail=True
andkey
was not found in cache / expired.- Return Any value
The value of the cache key
key
, ordefault
if it wasn’t found.
-
pickle_default
: bool = True¶ Change this to
False
to disable the use ofpickle
by default for any new instances of this class.
-
async
remove
(*key: Union[bytes, str]) → bool[source]¶ Remove one or more keys from the cache.
If all cache keys existed before removal,
True
will be returned. If some didn’t exist (and thus couldn’t remove), thenFalse
will be returned.- Parameters
key (str) – The cache key(s) to remove
- Return bool removed
True
ifkey
existed and was removed- Return bool removed
False
ifkey
didn’t exist, and no action was taken.
-
async
set
(key: Union[bytes, str], value: Any, timeout: Optional[int] = 300)[source]¶ Set the cache key
key
to the valuevalue
, and automatically expire the key aftertimeout
seconds from now.If
timeout
isNone
, then the key will never expire (unless the cache implementation loses it’s persistence, e.g. memory caches with no disk writes).
-
async
update_timeout
(key: str, timeout: int = 300) → Any[source]¶ Update the timeout for a given
key
todatetime.utcnow() + timedelta(seconds=timeout)
This method should accept keys which are already expired, allowing expired cache keys to have their timeout extended after expiry.
Example:
>>> c = CacheAdapter() >>> c.set('example', 'test', timeout=60) >>> sleep(70) >>> c.update_timeout('example', timeout=60) # Reset the timeout for ``'example'`` to ``now + 60 seconds`` >>> c.get('example') 'test'
- Parameters
- Raises
CacheNotFound – Raised when
key
was not found in cache (thus cannot extend timeout)- Return Any value
The value of the cache key
-
use_pickle
: bool¶ If
True
, will usepickle
for serializing objects before inserting into Memcached, and un-serialising objects retrieved from Memcached. This attribute is set in__init__()
.Change this to
False
to disable the use ofpickle
- instead values will be passed to / returned from Memcached as-is, with no serialisation (this may require you to manually serialize complex types such asdict
andDecimal
before insertion, and un-serialise after retrieval).
