pyndn.in_memory_storage.in_memory_storage_retaining module

This module defines the InMemoryStorageRetaining class, which provides an application cache with in-memory storage, of which no eviction policy will be employed. Entries will only be evicted by explicit application control. Note: In ndn-cxx, this class is called InMemoryStoragePersistent, but “persistent” misleadingly sounds like persistent on-disk storage.
