Dictator is a tiny library for Robots™ to work with Redis as a Dict.

It handles Redis API commands and represent itself as a dict-like object.

Install

$ pip install dictator

Usage

It’s easy to start by creating Dictator object

>>> dc = Dictator(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)

For the moment it handles not all features of Python Dict but basics:

• .set(key, value)

  >>> dc.set('Planets', ['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth'])
  >>> dc['Stars'] = ['Sun']

• .get(key)

  >>> dc['Stars']
  ['Sun']
  >>> dc.get('Planets')
  ['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth']

  You can set default value for get() function just like for a dict-object:

  >>> dc.get('Comets', 'No data')
  'No data'

• .update(other=None, **kwargs)

  >>> dc.update({'Stars': ['Sun', 'Vega']})
  >>> dc.update(Stars=['Sun'])

• .pop(key, default=None)

  >>> dc.pop('Stars')
  ['Sun']
  >>> dc.pop('Comets')

• .delete(key)

  >>> dc.delete('Comets')

  or

  >>> del dc['Comets']

• .keys() and .values()

  >>> dc.keys()
  ['Planets', 'Stars']
  >>> dc.values()
  [['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth']]

• .items()

  >>> dc.iterms()
  [('Planets', ['Mercury', 'Venus', 'Earth'])]

• also it supports iteration via generator object:

  • .iterkeys()

  • .itervalues()

  • .iteritems()

• and more
