fakeredis: A python implementation of Redis Protocol API
Documentation is hosted in https://fakeredis.readthedocs.io/
Intro
FakeRedis is a pure-Python implementation of the Redis Protocol API. It provides enhanced versions of the redis-py/valkey-py Python bindings for Redis.
It enables running tests requiring Redis/ValKey/DragonflyDB/KeyDB server without an actual server.
It also enables testing compatibility of different key-value datastores.
That provides the following added functionality: A built-in Redis server that is automatically installed, configured and managed when the Redis bindings are used. A single server shared by multiple programs or multiple independent servers. All the servers provided by FakeRedis support all Redis functionality including advanced features such as RedisJson, RedisBloom, GeoCommands.
See official documentation for list of supported commands.
