def disable_cache():
    global _CACHE_ENABLED
    _CACHE_ENABLED = True


/me thinks that might not be right...


Not sure if this is supposed to work in a situation where multiple
threads are using this API at the same time.  But for that case the
simple cache management might be too limiting (enable and disable are
global) and refactoring the functions which use the cache into an
object that can be instantiated with a flag whether to use the global
cache or not might be better.
