It stores all messages as UTF-8 strings and provides basic enqueue and dequeue operations, plus bulk methods for moving multiple messages at once. The package requires only the redis client library as a dependency and runs on Python 3.10 and later.\n\nIt is designed for simple use cases where you need a lightweight queue without the overhead of a full message broker. The implementation is fully tested and supports unlimited parallel queues on the same Redis instance. It is most useful in applications that already use Redis and need a quick, low-ceremony way to add task or message queuing.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already run Redis and need a minimal, permissively licensed queue without external dependencies beyond redis. The low install friction and active maintenance make it a reasonable choice for simple use cases. However, the lack of community adoption and sparse documentation mean you should verify it handles your specific queue semantics before committing to production."},"id":"redis-simple-mq","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redis-simple-mq","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/redis-simple-mq.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/redis-simple-mq/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"redis-simple-mq","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Simple message queue based on Redis."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":238317,"position":8941,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.1"}
