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.
