Are you sure about this? I could not find anything in the documentation
(other than mod_cache and friends, which is an unrelated functionality).
Also, I don't see the need for Apache to cache frequently requested
files itself. Instead, the operating system will cache frequently
requested directories and files in memory, and it will do the same for
a Python web server.
