This utility allows you to configure Redis in your Python applications using a url. This library was inspired by needing a way to seamlessly switch between redis-py and redis-py-cluster based on env configuration.
Non-Clustered Redis
redis_url_py.parse('redis://:[email protected]:6379/0')
{
'host': '127.0.0.1',
'port': 6379,
'db': 0,
'password': 'password'
}
Clustered Redis
redis_url_py.parse('redis://:[email protected]:6379?cluster=true')
{
'host': '127.0.0.1',
'port': 6379,
'password': 'password',
}
You may also specify options in your URL which can be used to configure a redis cluster.
-
cluster{boolean} - set to true if the url refers to a clustered redis -
skip_full_coverage_check{boolean} - (used when connecting to ElastiCache instances, see http://redis-py-cluster.readthedocs.io/en/master/upgrading.html#id1)
