# Mock for the redis-py client library

Supports writing tests for code using the [redis-py][redis-py] library

without requiring a [redis-server][redis] install.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/locationlabs/mockredis.png)](https://travis-ci.org/locationlabs/mockredis)

## Installation

Use pip:

    pip install mockredispy

## Usage

Both `mockredis.mock_redis_client` and `mockredis.mock_strict_redis_client` can be

used to patch instances of the *redis client*.

For example, using the [mock][mock] library:

    @patch('redis.Redis', mock_redis_client)

Or:

    @patch('redis.StrictRedis', mock_strict_redis_client)

## Testing

Many unit tests exist to verify correctness of mock functionality. In addition, most

unit tests support testing against an actual redis-server instance to verify the tests

against ground truth. See `mockredis.tests.fixtures` for more details and disclaimers.

## Supported python versions

 - Python 2.7

 - Python 3.2

 - Python 3.3

 - Python 3.4

 - PyPy

 - PyPy3

## Attribution
