__init__

RedisCache.__init__(use_pickle: bool = None, redis_instance: redis.client.Redis = None, *args, **kwargs)[source]

RedisCache by default uses the global Redis instance from privex.helpers.plugin.

It’s recommended to use privex.helpers.plugin.configure_redis() if you need to change any Redis settings, as this will adjust the global settings and re-instantiate the global instance if required.

Alternatively, you may pass an instance of redis.Redis as redis_instance, then that will be used instead of the global instance from get_redis()

Parameters

  • use_pickle (bool) – (Default: True) Use the built-in pickle to serialise values before storing in Redis, and un-serialise when loading from Redis

  • redis_instance (redis.Redis) – If this isn’t None / False, then this Redis instance will be used instead of the global one from get_redis()
