    overhead.

    cache size set on its creation.
  * Simple API.
  * Simple source code.
  * Cache may be saved to file and loaded from file.
  * Works on Google AppEngine.


This is a required dependency for victoria-metrics.

Attached a tested and working packaging, where only the Uploaders, and
ITP bug need to be filled, and the packaging imported into git.

Thanks,
