Python module for simple key-value storage backed up by sqlite3 database.
The typical use case is a URL to HTTP data cache, but it can also be used fo non web ressources.


## Features

* Simple `dict` interface allows natural usage (`if key in cache`, `value = cache[key]`, etc.)
* Optional Zlib, BZIP2 or LZMA compression
* FIFO or LRU cache eviction strategies
* Optional thread safe interface to work around Python Sqlite3 'same thread' limitation
* Provides cache hit rate statistics


## Installation (from PyPI, with PIP)

web_cache requires [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) >= 3.4.

1. If you don't already have it, [install pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/) for Python 3
2. Install web_cache: `pip3 install web_cache`
