redisent

Introducing redisent, a Python library which leverages Python dataclasses along with redis-py (or the asyncio-enabled aioredis library) for persisting and loading data from Redis.

Under the hood, Python pickle library is used to convert the dataclass field values in byte values that can be stored directly in Redis.

Quick Start

First things first, redisent needs to be installed. Most often this is done by adding redisent to any requirements.txt files and using pip to install it.

Development Installation

For bleeding-edge changes and releases, the redisent package can be installed using pip with the URL to this project on GitHub:

$ pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/jhannah01/redisent
Collecting git+ssh://****@github.com/jhannah01/redisent
  Cloning ssh://****@github.com/jhannah01/redisent to /private/var/folders/7d/h7_kc94d4wdf1gz35mwfkr1m0000gn/T/pip-req-build-f50ebj91
  Running command git clone -q 'ssh://****@github.com/jhannah01/redisent' /private/var/folders/7d/h7_kc94d4wdf1gz35mwfkr1m0000gn/T/pip-req-build-f50ebj91

For anyone who might also be making modifications to redisent as well as using it with another application virtual environment, the pip argument --editable should be used with a locally checked out version of redisent:

$ git clone https://github.com/jhannah01/redisent ~/code/redisent
$ cd ~/code/myproject
$ source ./activate
[venv] $ pip install --editable ~/code/redisent

This will mean any changes to your local redisent repository will be realized immediately within the myproject virtualenv.
