python reids client

1. 安装
1. redis-py
    git clone https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py.git 
    cd redis-py 
    python setup.py install 
2. Parser安装
        Parser可以控制如何解析redis响应的内容。redis-py包含两个Parser类，PythonParser和HiredisParser。默认，如果已经安装了hiredis模块，redis-py会使用HiredisParser，否则会使用PythonParser。
HiredisParser是C编写的，由redis核心团队维护，性能要比PythonParser提高10倍以上，所以推荐使用。安装方法，使用easy_install：


2. 使用
        redis-py提供两个类Redis和StrictRedis用于实现Redis的命令，StrictRedis用于实现大部分官方的命令，并使用官方的语法和命令（比如，SET命令对应与StrictRedis.set方法）。Redis是StrictRedis的子类，用于向后兼容旧版本的redis-py。

import redis
r = redis.StrictRedis(host='127.0.0.1', port=9212)
r.set('foo', 'hello')
r.rpush('mylist', 'one')
print r.get('foo')
print r.rpop('mylist')

redis-py使用connection pool来管理对一个redis server的所有连接，避免每次建立、释放连接的开销。默认，每个Redis实例都会维护一个自己的连接池。可以直接建立一个连接池，然后作为参数Redis，这样就可以实现多个Redis实例共享一个连接池。

    import redis  
      
    pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=9212)  
    r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)  
    r.set('one', 'first')  
    r.set('two', 'second')  
    print r.get('one')  
    print r.get('two')  

redis pipeline机制，可以在一次请求中执行多个命令，这样避免了多次的往返时延。

import redis

pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=9212)
r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)
pipe = r.pipeline()
pipe.set('one', 'first')
pipe.set('two', 'second')
pipe.execute()
pipe.set('one'. 'first').rpush('list', 'hello').rpush('list', 'world').execute()

edis-py默认在一次pipeline中的操作是原子的，要改变这种方式，可以传入transaction=False，
    pipe = r.pipeline(transaction=False) 


使用方法：

rc_albumbox = redis.Redis(connection_pool=(redis.ConnectionPool(host=host, port=int(port), db=3)))

session_redis = redis.StrictRedis(
            host=getattr(settings, 'SESSION_REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
            port=getattr(settings, 'SESSION_REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            db=getattr(settings, 'SESSION_REDIS_DB', 0),
            password=getattr(settings, 'SESSION_REDIS_PASSWORD', None)
        )
