---------------------------------------------

**Note: ** redis-py 5.0 will be the last version of redis-py to support
Python 3.7, as it has reached [end of life]. redis-py 5.1 will support
Python 3.8+.

## Installation

Start a redis via docker:

``` bash
docker run -p 6379:6379 -it redis/redis-stack:latest
```

To install redis-py, simply:

``` bash
$ pip install redis
```

For faster performance, install redis with hiredis support, this provides a
compiled response parser, and *for most cases* requires zero code changes.
By default, if hiredis >= 1.0 is available, redis-py will attempt to use it
for response parsing.

``` bash
$ pip install "redis[hiredis]"
```

[redis-om-python]!

## Supported Redis Versions

The most recent version of this library supports redis version [5.0],
[6.0], [6.2], [7.0] and [7.2].

The table below highlights version compatibility of the most-recent library
versions and redis versions.

| Library version | Supported redis versions |
|-----------------|-------------------|
| 3.5.3 | <= 6.2 Family of releases |
| >= 4.5.0 | Version 5.0 to 7.0 |
| >= 5.0.0 | Version 5.0 to current |

## Usage

### Basic Example

``` python
>>> import redis
>>> r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)
>>> r.set('foo', 'bar')
True
>>> r.get('foo')
b'bar'
```

The above code connects to localhost on port 6379, sets a value in Redis,
and retrieves it. All responses are returned as bytes in Python, to receive
decoded strings, set *decode_responses=True*.  For this, and more
connection options, see [these examples].

#### RESP3 Support
To enable support for RESP3, ensure you have at least version 5.0 of the
client, and change your connection object to include *protocol=3*

``` python
>>> import redis
>>> r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0, protocol=3)
