import ddbc.cache
import time

cache = ddbc.cache.Client(
    table_name='cache_table',
    region='us-east-1', # optional
    default_ttl=100,    # default: -1 (Infinity)
    report_error=True   # default: False
)
cache['foo'] = 'bar'
print(cache['foo']) # => 'bar'

time.sleep(100)
print(cache['foo']) # => None

cache.set('foo', 'bar', 1000)
time.sleep(100)
print(cache['foo']) # => 'bar'

del cache['foo']
print(cache.get('foo', 'buz')) # => 'buz'
