Redisary

Redis is a key-value database. Interestingly Python dictionaries are some how key-value data structure. So why not write a wrapper that maps Python dictionary to Redis server.

Installation

Simply you can install it from PyPi by following command:

pip install -U redisary

or if you prefer the latest development version, you can install it from the source:

git clone https://github.com/xurvan/redisary.git
cd redisary
python setup.py install

Quickstart

A very simple usage could be like:

from redisary import Redisary

redis = Redisary(host='127.0.0.1', db=0)

redis['k'] = 'data'
data = redis['k']

Well it works like a normal dictionary, the only advantage is data now stored on Redis and we could access it from another process.

We also could set an expire for all keys of dictionary:

from redisary import Redisary

redis = Redisary(expire=800)

redis['k'] = 'temporary'

TODO

• Map Redis 'string' to Python 'str'
• Map Redis 'list' to Python 'list'
• Map Redis 'hash' to Python 'dict'
• Map Redis 'set' to Python 'set'
• Map Redis 'sorted set' to something!
