Redis-Sentinel-Url 1.0.1

A factory for redis connection that supports using Redis Sentinel

Redis-Sentinel-Url provides parser and connection factory for redis:// and redis+sentinel:// URLs (the latter being defined by this package).

• Supports Python 2.7 and 3.3+

• Licensed using Apache License 2.0

Installation

Install with pip:

pip install Redis-Sentinel-Url

URL scheme for connecting via Sentinel

This package defines redis+sentinel:// scheme for connecting to Redis via Sentinel:

redis+sentinel://[:password@]host:port[,host2:port2,...][/service_name[/db]][?param1=value1[&param2=value=2&...]]

• You can specify multiple sentinel host:port pairs separated by comma.

• If service_name is provided, it is used to create a default client

• service_name and db can also be specified as URL parameters (URL parameters take precedence)

• Client options (keyword arguments to redis.StrictRedis) are specified as URL parameters

• Options for connecting to Sentinel (keyword arguments to redis.sentinel.Sentinel) are specified with sentinel_ prefix

• There is special client_type option to specify whether the default client should be master (the default) or slave service when connecting via Sentinel

Basic usage

Supports schemes supported by redis.StrictRedis.from_url and also redis+sentinel:// scheme described above:

import redis_sentinel_url

sentinel, client = redis_sentinel_url.connect('redis://localhost/0')
# None, StrictRedis(...)

sentinel, client = redis_sentinel_url.connect('rediss://localhost/0')
# None, StrictRedis(...)

sentinel, client = redis_sentinel_url.connect('unix://[:password]@/path/to/socket.sock?db=0')
# None, StrictRedis(...)

sentinel, client = redis_sentinel_url.connect('redis+sentinel://localhost:26379,otherhost:26479/mymaster/0')
# Sentinel(...), StrictRedis(...)
