[Python] Memory-aware LRU cache decorator
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Memory-aware LRU Cache function decorator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A modification of the builtin ``functools.lru_cache`` decorator that takes an
additional keyword argument, ``use_memory_up_to``. The cache is considered full
if there are fewer than ``use_memory_up_to`` bytes of memory available.
If ``use_memory_up_to`` is set, then ``maxsize`` has no effect.
Uses the ``psutil`` module to get the available memory.

per element. This is important because the lru_cache() will hash
the key multiple times on a cache miss.

*use_memory_up_to* is an integer representing the number of bytes of memory
that must be available on the system in order for a value to be cached. If
it is set, *maxsize* has no effect.
If *maxsize* is set to None, the LRU features are disabled and the cache
can grow without bound.
If *typed* is True, arguments of different types will be cached separately.
For example, f(3.0) and f(3) will be treated as distinct calls with
distinct results.
Arguments to the cached function must be hashable.
View the cache statistics named tuple (hits, misses, maxsize, currsize)
with f.cache_info(). Clear the cache and statistics with f.cache_clear().
Access the underlying function with f.__wrapped__.
