> The Python Cache class uses Java Map-style put(), get(), remove() and contains().  Which is fine, but we should also offer Python-style syntactic sugar, so that we can do:
> {code} 
> cache['key'] = 'value'
> print cache['key']
> if 'key' in cache:
>   print 'Key exists!'
> for e in cache:
>   print e
> {code}
> etc.  Have a look at the implementation of a Python map for more details, or one of the many custom map-like classes available for Python.
> This is usually implemented by defining internal methods, such as:
> {code}
> def __getitem__(self, key):
>   return self.get(key)
> def __setitem__(self, key, value):
>   self.put(key, value)
> {code}
> etc.
