ImportError: No module named redis

Question

I have installed redis using sudo apt-get install redis-server command but I am receiving this error when I run my Python program: ImportError: No module named redis

Any idea what's going wrong or if I should install any other package as well? I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and I have Python 2.7.

Answer 1

To install redis-py, simply:

$ sudo pip install redis 

or alternatively (you really should be using pip though):

$ sudo easy_install redis 

or from source:

$ sudo python setup.py install 

Getting Started

>>> import redis >>> r = redis.StrictRedis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0) >>> r.set('foo', 'bar') True >>> r.get('foo') 'bar'
