class CacheRegion:
    r"""A front end to a particular cache backend.

:param name: Optional, a string name for the region.
     This isn't used internally
     but can be accessed via the ``.name`` parameter, helpful
     for configuring a region from a config file.
    :param function_key_generator:  Optional.  A
     function that will produce a "cache key" given
     a data creation function and arguments, when using
     the :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments` method.
     The structure of this function
     should be two levels: given the data creation function,
     return a new function that generates the key based on
     the given arguments.  Such as::

def my_key_generator(namespace, fn, **kw):
            fname = fn.__name__
            def generate_key(*arg):
                return namespace + "_" + fname + "_".join(str(s) for s in arg)
            return generate_key

region = make_region(
            function_key_generator = my_key_generator
        ).configure(
            "dogpile.cache.dbm",
            expiration_time=300,
            arguments={
                "filename":"file.dbm"
            }
        )

The ``namespace`` is that passed to
     :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments`.  It's not consulted
     outside this function, so in fact can be of any form.
     For example, it can be passed as a tuple, used to specify
     arguments to pluck from \**kw::

def my_key_generator(namespace, fn):
            def generate_key(*arg, **kw):
                return ":".join(
                        [kw[k] for k in namespace] +
                        [str(x) for x in arg]
                    )
            return generate_key

Where the decorator might be used as::

@my_region.cache_on_arguments(namespace=('x', 'y'))
        def my_function(a, b, **kw):
            return my_data()

.. seealso::

:func:`.function_key_generator` - default key generator

:func:`.kwarg_function_key_generator` - optional gen that also
        uses keyword arguments

:param function_multi_key_generator: Optional.
     Similar to ``function_key_generator`` parameter, but it's used in
     :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_multi_on_arguments`. Generated function
     should return list of keys. For example::

def my_multi_key_generator(namespace, fn, **kw):
            namespace = fn.__name__ + (namespace or '')

def generate_keys(*args):
                return [namespace + ':' + str(a) for a in args]

return generate_keys

:param key_mangler: Function which will be used on all incoming
     keys before passing to the backend.  Defaults to ``None``,
     in which case the key mangling function recommended by
     the cache backend will be used.    A typical mangler
     is the SHA1 mangler found at :func:`.sha1_mangle_key`
     which coerces keys into a SHA1
     hash, so that the string length is fixed.  To
     disable all key mangling, set to ``False``.   Another typical
     mangler is the built-in Python function ``str``, which can be used
     to convert non-string or Unicode keys to bytestrings, which is
     needed when using a backend such as bsddb or dbm under Python 2.x
     in conjunction with Unicode keys.

:param serializer: function which will be applied to all values before
     passing to the backend.  Defaults to ``None``, in which case the
     serializer recommended by the backend will be used.   Typical
     serializers include ``pickle.dumps`` and ``json.dumps``.

.. versionadded:: 1.1.0

:param deserializer: function which will be applied to all values returned
     by the backend.  Defaults to ``None``, in which case the
     deserializer recommended by the backend will be used.   Typical
     deserializers include ``pickle.dumps`` and ``json.dumps``.

Deserializers can raise a :class:`.api.CantDeserializeException` if they
     are unable to deserialize the value from the backend, indicating
     deserialization failed and that caching should proceed to re-generate
     a value.  This allows an application that has been updated to gracefully
     re-cache old items which were persisted by a previous version of the
     application and can no longer be successfully deserialized.

.. versionadded:: 1.1.0 added "deserializer" parameter

.. versionadded:: 1.2.0 added support for
        :class:`.api.CantDeserializeException`

:param async_creation_runner:  A callable that, when specified,
     will be passed to and called by dogpile.lock when
     there is a stale value present in the cache.  It will be passed the
     mutex and is responsible releasing that mutex when finished.
     This can be used to defer the computation of expensive creator
     functions to later points in the future by way of, for example, a
     background thread, a long-running queue, or a task manager system
     like Celery.

For a specific example using async_creation_runner, new values can
     be created in a background thread like so::

import threading

def async_creation_runner(cache, somekey, creator, mutex):
            ''' Used by dogpile.core:Lock when appropriate  '''
            def runner():
                try:
                    value = creator()
                    cache.set(somekey, value)
                finally:
                    mutex.release()

thread = threading.Thread(target=runner)
            thread.start()

region = make_region(
            async_creation_runner=async_creation_runner,
        ).configure(
            'dogpile.cache.memcached',
            expiration_time=5,
            arguments={
                'url': '127.0.0.1:11211',
                'distributed_lock': True,
            }
        )

Remember that the first request for a key with no associated
     value will always block; async_creator will not be invoked.
     However, subsequent requests for cached-but-expired values will
     still return promptly.  They will be refreshed by whatever
     asynchronous means the provided async_creation_runner callable
     implements.

By default the async_creation_runner is disabled and is set
     to ``None``.

.. versionadded:: 0.4.2 added the async_creation_runner
        feature.

        affect the data in the cache in any way, and is
        **local to this instance of :class:`.CacheRegion`.**

.. warning::

The :meth:`.CacheRegion.invalidate` method's default mode of
            operation is to set a timestamp **local to this CacheRegion
            in this Python process only**.   It does not impact other Python
            processes or regions as the timestamp is **only stored locally in
            memory**.  To implement invalidation where the
            timestamp is stored in the cache or similar so that all Python
            processes can be affected by an invalidation timestamp, implement a
            custom :class:`.RegionInvalidationStrategy`.

Once set, the invalidation time is honored by
        the :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create`,
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create_multi` and
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.get` methods.

The method supports both "hard" and "soft" invalidation
        options.  With "hard" invalidation,
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create` will force an immediate
        regeneration of the value which all getters will wait for.
        With "soft" invalidation, subsequent getters will return the
        "old" value until the new one is available.

        """A function decorator that will cache the return
        value of the function using a key derived from the
        function itself and its arguments.

The decorator internally makes use of the
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create` method to access the
        cache and conditionally call the function.  See that
        method for additional behavioral details.

E.g.::

@someregion.cache_on_arguments()
            def generate_something(x, y):
                return somedatabase.query(x, y)

The decorated function can then be called normally, where
        data will be pulled from the cache region unless a new
        value is needed::

result = generate_something(5, 6)

The function is also given an attribute ``invalidate()``, which
        provides for invalidation of the value.  Pass to ``invalidate()``
        the same arguments you'd pass to the function itself to represent
        a particular value::

generate_something.invalidate(5, 6)

Another attribute ``set()`` is added to provide extra caching
        possibilities relative to the function.   This is a convenience
        method for :meth:`.CacheRegion.set` which will store a given
        value directly without calling the decorated function.
        The value to be cached is passed as the first argument, and the
        arguments which would normally be passed to the function
        should follow::

generate_something.set(3, 5, 6)

The above example is equivalent to calling
        ``generate_something(5, 6)``, if the function were to produce
        the value ``3`` as the value to be cached.

.. versionadded:: 0.4.1 Added ``set()`` method to decorated function.

Similar to ``set()`` is ``refresh()``.   This attribute will
        invoke the decorated function and populate a new value into
        the cache with the new value, as well as returning that value::

newvalue = generate_something.refresh(5, 6)

.. versionadded:: 0.5.0 Added ``refresh()`` method to decorated
           function.

``original()`` on other hand will invoke the decorated function
        without any caching::

newvalue = generate_something.original(5, 6)

.. versionadded:: 0.6.0 Added ``original()`` method to decorated
           function.

Lastly, the ``get()`` method returns either the value cached
        for the given key, or the token ``NO_VALUE`` if no such key
        exists::

value = generate_something.get(5, 6)

.. versionadded:: 0.5.3 Added ``get()`` method to decorated
           function.

The default key generation will use the name
        of the function, the module name for the function,
        the arguments passed, as well as an optional "namespace"
        parameter in order to generate a cache key.

Given a function ``one`` inside the module
        ``myapp.tools``::

@region.cache_on_arguments(namespace="foo")
            def one(a, b):
                return a + b

Above, calling ``one(3, 4)`` will produce a
        cache key as follows::

myapp.tools:one|foo|3 4

The key generator will ignore an initial argument
        of ``self`` or ``cls``, making the decorator suitable
        (with caveats) for use with instance or class methods.
        Given the example::

class MyClass:
                @region.cache_on_arguments(namespace="foo")
                def one(self, a, b):
                    return a + b

The cache key above for ``MyClass().one(3, 4)`` will
        again produce the same cache key of ``myapp.tools:one|foo|3 4`` -
        the name ``self`` is skipped.

The ``namespace`` parameter is optional, and is used
        normally to disambiguate two functions of the same
        name within the same module, as can occur when decorating
        instance or class methods as below::

class MyClass:
                @region.cache_on_arguments(namespace='MC')
                def somemethod(self, x, y):
                    ""

class MyOtherClass:
                @region.cache_on_arguments(namespace='MOC')
                def somemethod(self, x, y):
                    ""

Above, the ``namespace`` parameter disambiguates
        between ``somemethod`` on ``MyClass`` and ``MyOtherClass``.
        Python class declaration mechanics otherwise prevent
        the decorator from having awareness of the ``MyClass``
        and ``MyOtherClass`` names, as the function is received
        by the decorator before it becomes an instance method.

The function key generation can be entirely replaced
        on a per-region basis using the ``function_key_generator``
        argument present on :func:`.make_region` and
        :class:`.CacheRegion`. If defaults to
        :func:`.function_key_generator`.

:param namespace: optional string argument which will be
         established as part of the cache key.   This may be needed
         to disambiguate functions of the same name within the same
         source file, such as those
         associated with classes - note that the decorator itself
         can't see the parent class on a function as the class is
         being declared.

:param expiration_time: if not None, will override the normal
         expiration time.

May be specified as a callable, taking no arguments, that
         returns a value to be used as the ``expiration_time``. This callable
         will be called whenever the decorated function itself is called, in
         caching or retrieving. Thus, this can be used to
         determine a *dynamic* expiration time for the cached function
         result.  Example use cases include "cache the result until the
         end of the day, week or time period" and "cache until a certain date
         or time passes".

:param should_cache_fn: passed to :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create`.

:param to_str: callable, will be called on each function argument
         in order to convert to a string.  Defaults to ``str()``.  If the
         function accepts non-ascii unicode arguments on Python 2.x, the
         ``unicode()`` builtin can be substituted, but note this will
         produce unicode cache keys which may require key mangling before
         reaching the cache.

:param function_key_generator: a function that will produce a
         "cache key". This function will supersede the one configured on the
         :class:`.CacheRegion` itself.

This method is the "multiple key" analogue to the

Example::

@someregion.cache_multi_on_arguments()

The decorated function can be called normally.  The decorator

        that of :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments`, combining the
        name of the function with the optional namespace and with the
        string form of each key.  It will then consult the cache using
        the same mechanism as that of :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_multi`
        to retrieve all current values; the originally passed keys
        corresponding to those values which aren't generated or need
        regeneration will be assembled into a new argument list, and
        the decorated function is then called with that subset of
        arguments.

The returned result is a list::

result = generate_something("key1", "key2", "key3")

The decorator internally makes use of the
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create_multi` method to access the
        cache and conditionally call the function.  See that
        method for additional behavioral details.

Unlike the :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments` method,
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_multi_on_arguments` works only with
        a single function signature, one which takes a simple list of
        keys as arguments.

Like :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments`, the decorated function
        is also provided with a ``set()`` method, which here accepts a
        mapping of keys and values to set in the cache::

generate_something.set({"k1": "value1",
                                    "k2": "value2", "k3": "value3"})

...an ``invalidate()`` method, which has the effect of deleting
        the given sequence of keys using the same mechanism as that of
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.delete_multi`::

generate_something.invalidate("k1", "k2", "k3")

...a ``refresh()`` method, which will call the creation
        function, cache the new values, and return them::

values = generate_something.refresh("k1", "k2", "k3")

...and a ``get()`` method, which will return values
        based on the given arguments::

values = generate_something.get("k1", "k2", "k3")

.. versionadded:: 0.5.3 Added ``get()`` method to decorated
           function.

Parameters passed to :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_multi_on_arguments`
        have the same meaning as those passed to
        :meth:`.CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments`.

:param namespace: optional string argument which will be
         established as part of each cache key.

:param expiration_time: if not None, will override the normal
         expiration time.  May be passed as an integer or a
         callable.

:param should_cache_fn: passed to
         :meth:`.CacheRegion.get_or_create_multi`. This function is given a
         value as returned by the creator, and only if it returns True will
         that value be placed in the cache.

:param asdict: if ``True``, the decorated function should return
         its result as a dictionary of keys->values, and the final result
         of calling the decorated function will also be a dictionary.
         If left at its default value of ``False``, the decorated function
         should return its result as a list of values, and the final
         result of calling the decorated function will also be a list.

When ``asdict==True`` if the dictionary returned by the decorated
         function is missing keys, those keys will not be cached.

.. versionadded:: 0.5.0

:param function_multi_key_generator: a function that will produce a
         list of keys. This function will supersede the one configured on the
         :class:`.CacheRegion` itself.

.. versionadded:: 0.5.5

.. seealso::
