Ma Lin <malincns at 163.com> added the comment:

I suggest the documentation be written in more detail.

For example, in __clearcache__'s section, state explicitly that this magic function is for module-level cache, and it will be invoked by sys.clear_caches().

Maybe also introduce the background: some caches may grow unlimitedly, sys.clear_caches() gives the user a chance to empty them.
