How do I configure cachetools for my Python project?

To configure cachetools, first install it using pip: pip install cachetools. Then, you can set up a cache by importing the necessary classes.

What types of caches can I use with cachetools?

Cachetools provides several types of caches, including LRUCache, TTLCache, and RRCache. Each serves different use cases.

Can you give me an example of using TTLCache?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from cachetools import TTLCache

# Create a cache with a max size of 100 and a TTL of 300 seconds
cache = TTLCache(maxsize=100, ttl=300)

# Add an item to the cache
cache['key'] = 'value'

How do I handle cache expiration?

You can check if an item is in the cache using key in cache. If it has expired, it will return False.
