Mock for the redis-py client library

Supports writing tests for code using the redis-py library without requiring a a redis-server install.

Installation

Use pip:

pip install mockredispy

Usage

Both mockredis.mock_redis_client and mockredis.mock_strict_redis_cient can be used to patch instances of the redis client.

For example, using the mock library:

@patch('redis.Redis', mock_redis_client)

Or:

@patch('redis.StrictRedis', mock_strict_redis_client)
