Kachy Valkey Python Client

High-performance Valkey client with automatic authentication and multi-tenancy support for Python.

Installation

pip install kachy-valkey

Quick Start

import os
import kachy

# Initialize with your access key
kachy.init(os.environ.get("KACHY_ACCESS_KEY"))

# Basic operations
kachy.set("greeting", "Hello, World!")
kachy.set("user:123:name", "John Doe")
kachy.set("session:abc", "active", 3600)  # 1 hour expiration

# Retrieve values
greeting = kachy.get("greeting")
user_name = kachy.get("user:123:name")
session = kachy.get("session:abc")

print(f"Greeting: {greeting}")
print(f"User name: {user_name}")
print(f"Session: {session}")

# Check if keys exist
exists_greeting = kachy.exists("greeting")
print(f"Greeting exists: {exists_greeting}")

# Get TTL
ttl = kachy.ttl("session:abc")
print(f"Session TTL: {ttl} seconds")

# Cleanup
kachy.delete("greeting")
kachy.delete("user:123:name")
kachy.delete("session:abc")

# Close connection
kachy.close()

Advanced Operations

Custom Valkey Commands

# Hash operations
kachy.valkey("HMSET", "user:123:profile", "age", "30", "city", "New York")
profile = kachy.valkey("HMGET", "user:123:profile", "age", "city")
print(f"User profile: {profile}")

# List operations
kachy.valkey("LPUSH", "notifications:123", "Welcome message")
kachy.valkey("LPUSH", "notifications:123", "System update")
notifications = kachy.valkey("LRANGE", "notifications:123", 0, -1)
print(f"Notifications: {notifications}")

Pipeline Operations

# Batch operations for better performance
with kachy.pipeline() as pipe:
    pipe.set("batch:1", "value1")
    pipe.set("batch:2", "value2")
    pipe.set("batch:3", "value3")
    results = pipe.execute()

print(f"Pipeline results: {results}")
