znsocket 0.1.3

Python implementation of a Redis-compatible API using websockets.

ZnSocket - Redis-like Key-Value Store in Python

ZnSocket provides a Redis-compatible API using python-socketio and Python objects for storage. It is designed for testing and applications requiring key-value storage while being easily installable via pip. For production, consider using redis-py and a Redis instance.

Installation

To install ZnSocket, use:

pip install znsocket

Example

Start the ZnSocket server using the CLI:

znsocket --port 5000

For additional options, run:

znsocket --help

Here's a simple example of how to use the ZnSocket client:

from znsocket import Client

# Connect to the ZnSocket server
c = Client.from_url("znsocket://127.0.0.1:5000")

# Set and get a value
c.set("name", "Fabian")
assert c.get("name") == "Fabian"

[!NOTE] ZnSocket does not encode/decode strings. Using it is equivalent to using Redis.from_url(storage, decode_responses=True) in the Redis client.

Lists

ZnSocket provides a synchronized version of the Python list implementation. Unlike a regular Python list, the data in znsocket.List is not stored locally; instead, it is dynamically pushed to and pulled from the server.

Below is a step-by-step example of how to use znsocket.List to interact with a ZnSocket server.

from znsocket import Client, List

# Connect to the ZnSocket server using the provided URL
client = Client.from_url("znsocket://127.0.0.1:5000")

# Create a synchronized list associated with the specified key
sync_list = List(client=client, key="list:1")

# Extend the list with multiple elements
sync_list.extend(["a", "b", "c", "d"])

# Print every second element from the list
print(sync_list[::2])
