Developer discussion for Creative Commons technology and tools

[Kevin Ollivier <kevino AT theolliviers.com>]

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
