What is django-redis ?

django-redis is A Django module for working with Redis, a basic abstraction layer for storing data in a local or remote Redis database storage system . This package is an evolution of an older (abandoned) Django package for Redis, django-redis-cache.On top of the older code, some new features have been added, to keep track with the recent changes introduced with the newer versions of Redis.The package works with both major Python versions, 2.x and 3.x, all from the same codebase. This is changelog for django-redis version 4.2.0 :

• Remove usage of deprecated `get_cache` method.
• Added connection option SOCKET_CONNECT_TIMEOUT. [Jorge C. Leitão].
