Is there an API for using Zope's cacheing machinery from python products? Look at the methods provided by a RAMCacheManager. I would use my "DocFinder" (<http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>)

Specifically, I have a subclass of SimpleUserFolder which calls 20+ SQL statements every time it's called just to work out the user's details - this is all very cacheable and I can see that Zope provides various caches - there are some useful-looking methods in RAMCacheManager.py, but I was wondering if there is a 'known' way to do it. You may also consider caching the Z SQL Methods (controlled via their "Advanced" tab). Do not forget to invalidate the cache, when you add/change users. This can be done by editing the Z SQL Method or by using my "CacheControlled ZSQL Methods" (see above, for the URL).
