coredis is an async redis client with support for redis server, cluster & sentinel.
-
The client API uses the specifications in the Redis command documentation to define the API by using the following conventions:
- Arguments retain naming from redis as much as possible
- Only optional variadic arguments are mapped to variadic positional or keyword arguments.
When the variable length arguments are not optional (which is almost always the case) the expected argument
is an iterable of type Parameters or
Mapping. - Pure tokens used as flags are mapped to boolean arguments
One ofarguments accepting pure tokens are collapsed and accept a PureToken
-
Responses are mapped between RESP and python types as closely as possible.
-
For higher level concepts such as Pipelines, LUA Scripts, PubSub & Streams abstractions are provided to encapsulate recommended patterns. See the Handbook and the API Documentation for more details.
Warning The command API does NOT mirror the official python redis client. For details about the high level differences refer to Divergence from aredis & redis-py
To install coredis:
$ pip install coredis- Connection Pooling
- PubSub
- Sharded PubSub [
>= Redis 7.0] - Stream Consumers
- Pipelining
- Client side caching
- LUA Scripting
- Redis Libraries and functions [
>= Redis 7.0]
- Public API annotated with type annotations
- Optional Runtime Type Validation (via beartype)
