Yup, I know, that's what brings forth my questions about the large- scale behavior of in-memory caching. Will the instances be recreated too often for it to be more effective than memcache? Will there be too many instances at a time for it to be more effective?
I also rewrote the code to use proper programming conventions, before someone tells me off for my unconventional code ;) The new code is here: http://paste.blixt.org/3382 - Andreas Blixt On Jan 22, 5:08 pm, Tony Arkles <t.ark...@gmail.com> wrote: > The big difference between in-memory caching and memcache caching is > that memcache data is shared between all of your running instances, > but in-memory caching is on a per-instance basis. > > On Jan 22, 9:52 am, Blixt <andreasbl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Hi there, > > > I've been playing with caching using global variables > > (seehttp://tack.appspot.com/ > > for my plaything) and would like some input on the following > > approach:http://paste.blixt.org/3381 > > > You would use the above code like this: > > > > def get_recent_posts(): > > > if cache.recent_posts.is_current(): > > > return cache.recent_posts.data > > > > posts = [] > > > # ...
