[cc-devel] REST service and caching or local copy?

Hi all,
I'm working on integrating a Creative Commons license chooser into a
wxPython application using ccwsclient, and one thing I'm noticing is
that when using the REST service, there is (expectedly) a brief delay
after switching options. Of course, it can make the application
appear sluggish to those who don't realize it is connecting to the
Internet, and ideally I'd like to make it possible to choose a
license without connecting at all. So I was wondering - is there some
recommended way to cache data or check against the server to see if
there are new options, etc. available? It looks like liblicense
actually has a copy of all the licenses with it, but I'm hoping to
use something that is pure Python as I need Win and Mac support and
want to keep dependency setup/maintenance work to a minimum.
Thanks,
Kevin
