+python3-cachecontrol (httplib2 caching algorithms)
+
+CacheControl is a port of the caching algorithms in httplib2 for
+use with requests session object.
+
+It was written because httplib2's better support for caching is
+often mitigated by its lack of thread safety. The same is true of
+requests in terms of caching.
