"""cache the return value of a method
This class is meant to be used as a decorator of methods. The return value
from a given method invocation will be cached on the instance whose method
was invoked. All arguments passed to a method decorated with memoize must
be hashable.
If a memoized method is invoked directly on its class the result will not
be cached. Instead the method will be invoked like a static method:
class Obj(object):
@memoize
def add_to(self, arg):
return self + arg
Obj.add_to(1) # not enough arguments
Obj.add_to(1, 2) # returns 3, result is not cached
