Connecting to Redis

Generic Client

This is the client used to connect directly to a standard Redis node.

redis.Redis

Sentinel Client

Redis Sentinel provides high availability for Redis. There are commands that can only be executed against a Redis node running in sentinel mode. Connecting to those nodes, and executing commands against them requires a Sentinel connection.

Connection example (assumes Redis exists on the ports listed below):

>>> from redis import Sentinel >>> sentinel = Sentinel([('localhost', 26379)], socket_timeout=0.1) >>> sentinel.discover_master('mymaster') ('127.0.0.1', 6379) >>> sentinel.discover_slaves('mymaster') [('127.0.0.1', 6380)]
