Setup
To use the cacheing service add the following to your py file.
try: import StorageServer except: import storageserverdummy as StorageServer cache = StorageServer.StorageServer() cache.table_name = "PluginName" # Name of your plugni.
You can now access the caching service through the "cache" variable.
cacheFunction(self, funct = False, *args)
Caching function results for one hour.
The function being cached must return a tupple ( function_return, status), a status of 200 means the result is ok and should be cached. Any other value and the function result will be returned, but not cached.
returns a tupple of the results from the function called.
def pi_count(self):
def arccot(x, unity):
sum = xpower = unity // x
n = 3
sign = -1
while 1:
xpower = xpower // (x*x)
term = xpower // n
if not term:
break
sum += sign * term
sign = -sign
n += 2
return sum
digits = 40
unity = 10**(digits + 10)
pi = 4 * (4*arccot(5, unity) - arccot(239, unity))
return (pi // 10**10, 200)
cache.table_name = "PluginName" # Name of your plugni.
result = cache.cacheFunction(pi_count) # This will call the pi_count function, save the result in the cache, and return the result.
time.sleep(300)
result = cache.cacheFunction(pi_count) # This will return the cached result
time.sleep(3600)
result = cache.cacheFunction(pi_count) # This will again call pi_count since the result is now considered stale.
lock(self, name)
Try to aquire a lock
Returns bool
cache.table_name = "PluginName"
locked = cache.lock("lock_me") # Returns True
if locked:
print "Got lock"

if not new_lock:
print "Couldn't aquire second lock.
unlock(self, name)
Unlock
Returns bool
cache.table_name = "PluginName"

unlocked = cache.unlock("lock_me") # Returns True
if unlocked:
print "Discarded lock"

if not new_unlocked:
print "Couldn't discard lock."
set(self, name, data)

Returns nothing
cache.table_name = "PluginName"
cache.set("some_string", "string")
cache.set("some_int", 1234)
cache.set("some_dict", { "our": { "dictionary": [] } } )
setMulti(self, name, data)
Store multiple values
Returns nothing
get(self, name)
Get a value
Returns stored data.
cache.table_name = "PluginName"
cache.set("some_string", "string")
cache.set("some_int", 1234)
cache.set("some_dict", { "our": { "dictionary": [] } } )
some_string = cache.get("some_string")
print some_string # Prints "string"
some_int = cache.get("some_int")
print some_int # prints 1234
some_dict = cache.get("some_dict")
print repr(some_dict) # prints '{ "our": { "dictionary": [] } }'
getMulti(self, name, items)
