Python async client for Redis key-value store

coredis

docs codecov Latest Version in PyPI ci Supported Python versions


coredis is an async redis client with support for redis server, cluster & sentinel.

  • The client API uses the specifications in the Redis command documentation to define the API by using the following conventions:

    • Arguments retain naming from redis as much as possible
    • Only optional variadic arguments are mapped to variadic positional or keyword arguments. When the variable length arguments are not optional (which is almost always the case) the expected argument is an iterable of type Parameters or Mapping.
    • Pure tokens used as flags are mapped to boolean arguments
    • One of arguments accepting pure tokens are collapsed and accept a PureToken
  • Responses are mapped between RESP and python types as closely as possible.

  • For higher level concepts such as Pipelines, LUA Scripts, PubSub & Streams abstractions are provided to encapsulate recommended patterns. See the Handbook and the API Documentation for more details.

Warning The command API does NOT mirror the official python redis client. For details about the high level differences refer to Divergence from aredis & redis-py

Quick start

Single Node or Cluster client

import asyncio
from coredis import Redis, RedisCluster

async def example():
    client = Redis(host='127.0.0.1', port=6379, db=0)
    # or with redis cluster
    # client = RedisCluster(startup_nodes=[{"host": "127.0.01", "port": 7001}])
    await client.flushdb()
    await client.set('foo', 1)
    assert await client.exists(['foo']) == 1
    assert await client.incr('foo') == 2
    assert await client.incrby('foo', increment=100) == 102
    assert int(await client.get('foo')) == 102

    assert await client.expire('foo', 1)
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
    assert await client.ttl('foo') == 1
    assert await client.pttl('foo') < 1000
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    assert not await client.exists(['foo'])

asyncio.run(example())

Sentinel

import asyncio
from coredis.sentinel import Sentinel

async def example():
    sentinel = Sentinel(sentinels=[("localhost", 26379)])
    primary = sentinel.primary_for("myservice")
    replica = sentinel.replica_for("myservice")

    assert await primary.set("fubar", 1)
    assert int(await replica.get("fubar")) == 1

asyncio.run(example())
