Question

I have tried using this from both python 3.6 and 3.9 but get the same error:

pip install serialized-redis-interface

This code doesn't work (but it used to work, not sure what this new installation broke):

import serialized_redis

def connect_redis(redis_host, redis_port, redis_password):

    print("Connecting redis")

    try:

        # The decode_repsonses flag here directs the client to convert the responses from Redis into Python strings
        # using the default encoding utf-8.  This is client specific.
        redis_connection_object = serialized_redis.JSONSerializedRedis(host=redis_host, port=redis_port, password=redis_password, db=0)
        #redis.StrictRedis(host=redis_host, port=redis_port, password=redis_password, decode_responses=True)
        if None == redis_connection_object:
            print("redis is not connected")
        return redis_connection_object
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

        return None

The error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
