web application-level caching

[Chris Gray]

Is there a Python module comparable in functionality to the PEAR 
Cache_Lite package for PHP?

I've been doing some Googling to little avail.  I'm experimenting with 
Python CGI to learn various techniques at a low level and I'm adapting a 
model that uses PHP.

Any info about application-level caching (or pointers to where to find 
such info) would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
