Decorating async functions?

[mrisher]

Hi: This may be simple, but I can't find in the docs or the code: How do I cache the results of an async function? I'm getting an error that a coroutine isn't JSON serializable which is true, but is there a way to tell redis-cache to await instead of caching the coro itself? Or would that be a simple change to submit a PR for?

Thanks much!

The library currently doesn’t support async. I would be happy to accept a PR for async with tests.

Thanks for confirming. Can you give me a hint where we're start for the PR? I will see if I can hack it... (with tests)

Here is around the line that you would need to change:
