# Memoize with Timeout

Function decorator and anciliary tooling to "memoize", or cache return values from a function call. Timeouts are important to ensure that the cache doesn't grow indefinitely, and has the advantage of culling on length since it is less subject to thrashing.

## Getting Started

### Installing

MWT can be installed using pip:

    $ pip install mwt

If you want to run the latest version of the code, you can install from git:

    $ pip install -U git+git://github.com/...

### Using MWT

At its simplest, simply decorate your method with MWT:

    from mwt import mwt

    @mwt()
    def fibonacci():
        a,b = 1,1

        for i in range(n-1):
            a,b = b,a+b

        return a

    print(fibonacci(500))
    print(fibonacci(500))
