Vlermv

Vlermv makes it easy to save Python objects to files with meaningful identifiers.

Interface

You should concern yourself primarily with these two elements.

vlermv.Vlermv

Class that helps you use the filesystem like a dictionary.

vlermv.cache

Decorator that helps you use vlermv.Vlermv for caching the output of a function.

Basic usage

Install from PyPI.

pip install vlermv

Then call it like this.

from vlermv import Vlermv
like_a_dictionary = Vlermv('a-directory')

Now you can mostly pretend that like_a_dictionary is a dictionary, except that it will persist across Python sessions.

Cache decorator

Decorate the function with @vlermv.cache() to cache its results.

@vlermv.cache()
def is_prime(number):
    for n in range(2, number):
        if number % n == 0:
            return False
    return True
