getcfs(key, filename, filter=1)

source code 

Caches the *filtered* file `filename` with `key` until the file is
modified.

:param key: the cache key
:param filename: the file to cache
:param filter: is the function used for filtering. Normally `filename` is a
    .py file and `filter` is a function that bytecode compiles the file.
    In this way the bytecode compiled file is cached. (Default = None)

This is used on Google App Engine since pyc files cannot be saved.
