Hello The feature seems useful to me and the patch straightforward. I wonder why you used a global name for the max length (“_MAXCACHE”) instead of inlining the value where it is used. Does it feel more constanty? ;) I fear that the leading underscore won’t discourage users from touching it, so I’d suggest making it public or completely hidden. On second thought, you could argue that Python is a matter of consenting adults, and that leading underscore is okay. Regards
