Why there isn't `ZPOPMAX` in Sorted Set?

[kingname]

I'd like to pop the value with the max score, but redis-py does not have zpopmax nor zpopmin.

So what are the suitable replaces of ZPOPMAX and ZPOPMIN?

See this?. Zpopmin and Zpopmax is new command in redis 5.0.0, maybe the command is in developing.
I use zrevrange('yourkey', 0, 1) to get the max value and then zrem('yourkey') to delete the element.

@ramwin Your method is a workaround way. However, it is not thread safe. two threads may get the same value.

Yes, if you want to ensure the thread safe, you should do some extra work using pipelining or transactions.

This should be resolved via #1037

Yes, if you want to ensure the thread safe, you should do some extra work using pipelining or transactions.

You need to use both pipelining AND transactions. Pipelining just ensures that the commands are executed in order and also reduces the RTT(Round Trip Time). Transactions are the ones that ensure atomicity of the commands in execution.
