You could use e.g.

def selffunc(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def newfunc(*args, **kwds):
        return func(func, *args, **kwds)
    return newfunc

@selffunc
def foo(func, a):
    func.cache = a

to avoid the "ugly" lookup of the function in the global namespace.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
