<span id="cache"></span><h1>Cache<a class="headerlink" href="#module-werkzeug.contrib.cache" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The main problem with dynamic Web sites is, well, they&#8217;re dynamic.  Each
time a user requests a page, the webserver executes a lot of code, queries
the database, renders templates until the visitor gets the page he sees.</p>
<p>This is a lot more expensive than just loading a file from the file system
and sending it to the visitor.</p>
<p>For most Web applications, this overhead isn&#8217;t a big deal but once it
becomes, you will be glad to have a cache system in place.</p>
<div class="section" id="how-caching-works">
<h2>How Caching Works<a class="headerlink" href="#how-caching-works" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Caching is pretty simple.  Basically you have a cache object lurking around
somewhere that is connected to a remote cache or the file system or
something else.  When the request comes in you check if the current page
is already in the cache and if so, you&#8217;re returning it from the cache.
Otherwise you generate the page and put it into the cache. (Or a fragment
of the page, you don&#8217;t have to cache the full thing)</p>
<p>Here is a simple example of how to cache a sidebar for a template:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">get_sidebar</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">user</span><span class="p">):</span>
    <span class="n">identifier</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;sidebar_for/user</span><span class="si">%d</span><span class="s1">&#39;</span> <span class="o">%</span> <span class="n">user</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">id</span>
    <span class="n">value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">cache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">identifier</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">value</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="ow">not</span> <span class="bp">None</span><span class="p">:</span>
        <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">value</span>
    <span class="n">value</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">generate_sidebar_for</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">user</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">user</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="n">cache</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">set</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">identifier</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">value</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">timeout</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="mi">60</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="mi">5</span><span class="p">)</span>
    <span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">value</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-a-cache-object">
<h2>Creating a Cache Object<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-cache-object" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>To create a cache object you just import the cache system of your choice
from the cache module and instantiate it.  Then you can start working
with that object:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">werkzeug.contrib.cache</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">SimpleCache</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">c</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">SimpleCache</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">c</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">set</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;foo&quot;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s2">&quot;value&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">c</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;foo&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">&#39;value&#39;</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">c</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;missing&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="bp">None</span>
<span class="go">True</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Please keep in mind that you have to create the cache and put it somewhere
you have access to it (either as a module global you can import or you just
put it into your WSGI application).</p>

<p>The first argument can either be an object that resembles the API of a

event that a tuple/list is passed, Werkzeug tries to import the best

<p>Implementation notes:  This cache backend works around some limitations in
memcached to simplify the interface.  For example unicode keys are encoded
to utf-8 on the fly.  Methods such as <a class="reference internal" href="#werkzeug.contrib.cache.BaseCache.get_dict" title="werkzeug.contrib.cache.BaseCache.get_dict"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal"><span class="pre">get_dict()</span></code></a> return
the keys in the same format as passed.  Furthermore all get methods
silently ignore key errors to not cause problems when untrusted user data
is passed to the get methods which is often the case in web applications.</p>
