Python cluster client for the official redis cluster. Redis 3.0+.

A Python client for Redis Cluster that predates official support in redis-py. It is now end-of-life — the README itself says so. If you are on redis-py >= 4.1.0 (released December 2021), you already have this functionality built in and should not install this package.

The migration path out is genuinely low-friction — the API surface maps closely enough to redis-py that switching requires few changes. Decent test coverage across pipelines, pubsub, scripting, and cluster-specific behaviors. The read-only replica mode is a useful feature that was well-documented before the project went dormant.

Dead project. Last push August 2023, and that was likely just a maintenance commit — meaningful development stopped years earlier. Any new bug you hit will not be fixed here. Pinned to redis-py <4.0.0, which means you cannot use it with any modern version of redis-py anyway. The CI uses Travis CI, which most open-source projects abandoned years ago, so you cannot even verify the build status.
