A caching idea I'm playing around with.

@cache
def some_query(arg1, arg2):
    # Maybe do SQL query or something
    return result

cache returns a function that does:
    - Make a key from its arguments
    - If key is in the cache:
        - Return result from cache
    - If it isn't:
        - Call some_query with the same arguments
        - Cache and return the result
