how to cache asyncio coroutines

Maybe a bit late, but I’ve started a new package that may help: https://github.com/argaen/aiocache. Contributions/comments are always welcome.

An example:

import asyncio

from collections import namedtuple

from aiocache import cached
from aiocache.serializers import PickleSerializer

Result = namedtuple('Result', "content, status")


@cached(ttl=10, serializer=PickleSerializer())
async def async_main():
    print("First ASYNC non cached call...")
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return Result("content", 200)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    print(loop.run_until_complete(async_main()))
    print(loop.run_until_complete(async_main()))
    print(loop.run_until_complete(async_main()))
    print(loop.run_until_complete(async_main()))

Note that as an extra, it can cache any python object into redis using Pickle serialization. In case you just want to work with memory, you can use the SimpleMemoryCache backend :).
