To migrate from lru_cache to safecache, you can simply rename the decorators!
Before:
from functools import lru_cache
@lru_cache(maxsize=32, typed=True)
def function(*a, **kw):
...After:
from safecache import safecache
@safecache(maxsize=32, typed=True)
def function(*a, **kw):
...And now you get all the benefits of lru_cache with the enhancements of safecache.
