Cache support?

[frankdilo]

Issue Description

Hi, I saw that you remove caching support in 2016 and that now just some properties are cached via the cachedproperty decorator. I was interested in caching the results I get via the subreddit.top("day") method.

What's your suggested way to do that?

System Information

• PRAW Version: 6.4.0
• Python Version: 3.7.4
• Operating System: macOS Catalina

p.s. Love what you are doing with this library, thanks for all your work ❤️

Hi @frankdilo, can you provide more information about your reason for wanting to cache top("day") listing?

I would say to manually cache yourself through a dict:

from time import time

cache_dict = {"timestamp": 0, "data": None}

if int(time())-cache_dict["timestamp"] >= 60 * 60 * 1: # 1 hour, modify 1 to modify hours
    cache_dict["data"] = reddit.subreddit("TEST").top("day")
