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://:password@127.0.0.1:6379/0') { 'host': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 6379, 'db': 0, 'password': 'password' } 

Clustered Redis

redis_url_py.parse('redis://:password@127.0.0.1:6379?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)
