python-redisAuto reconnect to Redis server

We're demonstrating an infinite loop which can meet situation of Redis server being unavailable:

import redis
import time

pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)

while True:
    try:
        r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)
        print(r.ping())
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

    time.sleep(1)ctrl + cgithub

`import redis` import Redis module	`redis.ConnectionPool` creates Redis connection pool to be used later
`redis.Redis` connect to Redis server using connection pool (will automatically reconnect when server is available again)	`r.ping()` pings Redis server (will return `True` on success)
`except Exception as e` intercept and print error message so the script will not break	`time.sleep(1)` wait for 1 second till next iteration

Usage example

import redis
import time

pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0)

while True:
    try:
        r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)
        print(r.ping())
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

    time.sleep(1)

output

True
True
True
True
True
True
Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused.
