This cookbook contains many recipes to memoize functions, however a recipe to memoize classes was missing. Using this recipe you can cache object creation, i.e. new and init methods are called only when needed. For a good use case, see the discussion around http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/413609
