reddish 0.4.0

An async redis client library with a minimal api

reddish - an redis client for sockets and trio with minimal api

• Features
• Installation
• Minimal Example
• Usage

Features

• both sync and async API
• sync api using the standard library socket module (TPC, TPC+TLS, Unix domain sockets)
• async/await using trio's stream primitives (TCP, TCP+TLS, Unix domain sockets)
• minimal api so you don't have to relearn how to write redis commands
• supports all redis commands including modules except SUBSCRIBE, PSUBSCRIBE and MONITOR [^footnote]
• parses responses back into python types if you like (powered by pydantic)
• works with every redis version and supports both RESP2and RESP3 protocols

[^footnote]: Commands like SUBSCRIBE or MONITOR take over the redis connection for listeting to new events barring regular commands from being issued over the connection.

Installation

pip install reddish  # install just with support for socket
pip install reddish[trio]  # install with support for trio

Minimal Example - sync version

import socket
from reddish.socket import Redis, Command

redis = Redis(socket.create_connection(('localhost', 6379)))

assert b'PONG' == redis.execute(Command('PING'))

Minimal Example - async version

import trio
from reddish.trio import Redis, Command

redis = Redis(await trio.open_tcp_stream('localhost', 6379))

assert b'PONG' == await redis.execute(Command('PING'))

Usage

Command with a fixed number of arguments

# simple command without any arguments
Command('PING')

# commands with positional arguments
Command('ECHO {}', 'hello world')

# commands with keyword arguments
Command('SET {key} {value}', key='foo', value=42)

Command with response parsing

# return response unchanged from redis
assert b'42' == await redis.execute(Command('ECHO {}', 42))

# parse response as type
assert 42 == await redis.execute(Command('ECHO {}', 42).into(int))

# use any type that works with pydantic
from pydantic import Json
import json

data = json.dumps({'alice': 30, 'bob': 42})
response == await redis.execute(Command('ECHO {}', data).into(Json))
assert response == json.loads(data)

Command with variadic arguments

from reddish.trio import Args

# inlining arguments
Command('DEL {keys}', keys=Args(['foo', 'bar']))  # DEL foo bar

# inlining pairwise arguments 
data = {'name': 'bob', 'age': 42}
Command('XADD foo * {fields}', fields=Args.from_dict(data))  # XADD foo * name bob age 42

Pipelining commands

foo, bar = await redis.execute_many(Command('GET', 'foo'), Command('GET', 'bar'))

Transactions

from reddish.trio import MultiExec

tx = MultiExec(
    Command('ECHO {}', 'foo'),
    Command('ECHO {}', 'bar')
)

foo, bar = await redis.execute(tx)

# pipelining together with transactions
[foo, bar], baz = await redis.execute_many(tx, Command('ECHO {}', 'baz'))
