Items in the cache are stored in # nodes. These nodes make up the linked list. The list is used to efficiently # maintain the order that the items have been used in. The front or head of # the list contains the most recently used item, the tail of the list # contains the least recently used item. When an item is used it can easily # (in a constant amount of time) be moved to the front of the list, thus # updating its position in the ordering. These nodes are also placed in the # hash table under their associated key. The hash table allows efficient # lookup of values by key. # Class for the node objects. class _dlnode(object): def __init__(self): self.empty = True class lrucache(object): def __init__(self, size, callback=None): self.callback = callback # Create an empty hash table. self.table = {} # Initialize the doubly linked list with one empty node. This is an # invariant. The cache size must always be greater than zero. Each # node has a 'prev' and 'next' variable to hold the node that comes # before it and after it respectively.
