Comment (by markspieth):

 Very true. The library changed and I just did updated without changing
 functionality.

 I could add an option to disable cache if you like.

 Adaptive caching might be misleading but is possible. Not sure if this
 change would be accepted upstream though whereas the option is
 independent. Either case will still need a try except around the import
 for requests_cache. Is this really that important?

 Backports was not originally a requirement but should have been mentioned
 up front. As a result it wasn't addressed when choosing the original least
 path of resistance solution.
