It wraps redis and adds cluster-aware routing, slot management, and node discovery, so you can call standard Redis commands (set, get, etc.) and the client automatically routes them to the correct cluster node.\n\nThe package supports Python 2.7 through 3.8, though version 2.1.3 is the last release and the repository is now archived. It depends only on redis and provides a RedisCluster class that accepts a list of startup nodes for cluster discovery. Its abandonment means it will not receive bug fixes or compatibility updates for newer Redis Cluster features or Python versions.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code already using this package. The repository is archived and abandoned since 2023-08-24 with no updates since 2021-05-30. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of active maintenance means it will not receive updates for new Redis Cluster features, Python versions, or security issues. For new projects, use an actively maintained Redis Cluster client."},"id":"redis-py-cluster","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redis-py-cluster","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redis-py-cluster.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/redis-py-cluster/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-05-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"redis-py-cluster","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Library for communicating with Redis Clusters.
