# Check if the passed in string *could be* a cache key. This basically checks
# that the length matches a sha256 hex digest, and that the string does not
# contain any non-hex characters and is fully lower case.
#
# Args:
# key (str): The string to check
#
# Returns:
# (bool): Whether or not `key` could be a cache key
#

# Generate an sha256 hex digest from the given value. The value
# can be a simple value or recursive dictionary with lists etc,
# anything simple enough to serialize.
#
# Args:
# value: A value to get a key for
#
# Returns:
# (str): An sha256 hex digest of the given value
