Redis-Sentinel-Url
A factory for redis connection that supports using Redis Sentinel
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2017-04-05, no updates since) and targets Python 2.7 and 3.3–3.6. Compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified. For new projects, use the redis library's native URL parsing or a maintained alternative. For legacy systems already using this package, evaluate whether upgrading to a supported solution is feasible.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Package targets Python 2.7 and 3.3–3.6; compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified.
- Installation is straightforward with no complex dependencies beyond redis itself.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2017-04-05 and last commit 2023-02-27—so it will not receive updates for newer Redis or Python versions.

What it is and what it does
Redis-Sentinel-Url is a URL parser and connection factory that extends the redis library to support both regular redis:// URLs and a custom redis+sentinel:// scheme for connecting through Redis Sentinel. It wraps redis and accepts connection strings that specify Sentinel hosts, service names, and client options, returning both a Sentinel instance and a connected Redis client.
The package is designed for applications that need high-availability Redis deployments using Sentinel for automatic failover. It simplifies connection setup by allowing configuration via a single URL string rather than separate host, port, and Sentinel parameters. However, it is no longer maintained—the last release was 2017-04-05 and the repository shows no recent activity—so compatibility with current versions of Redis or Python is uncertain.
Use it for
- Connect to a Redis Sentinel cluster by parsing a redis+sentinel:// URL instead of manually configuring Sentinel hosts and service names.
- Migrate from standard redis:// connections to Sentinel-backed deployments by changing only the connection string.
- Build a connection factory that accepts URLs from environment variables or config files and returns ready-to-use Redis clients.
- Support both direct Redis and Sentinel-based connections in the same application using a unified URL interface.
