redis-simple-mq

1.1.0 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python

A simple message queue library built on top of Redis. Current version 1.1.0, release cadence infrequent. Requires Python >=3.8.

pip install redis-simple-mq

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'redis_simple_mq' ↓

cause Installed wrong package or name mismatch.

fix

Run pip install redis-simple-mq and verify import: from redis_simple_mq import Queue

error redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error 111 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused. ↓

cause Redis server not running or wrong host/port.

fix

Ensure Redis is running: redis-server (default port 6379) or set REDIS_HOST environment variable.

Warnings

gotcha The library does not support automatic Redis connection pooling; each Queue instance creates its own connection. For high throughput, reuse the same Queue instance. ↓

fix Use a single global Queue instance or manually manage a Redis connection pool.

deprecated The method 'pop' is deprecated in favor of 'get' to align with common queue semantics. ↓

fix Use mq.get() instead of mq.pop().

Quickstart

Basic usage: producer puts a dict onto a queue, consumer retrieves it.

import os
from redis_simple_mq import Queue

mq = Queue(host=os.environ.get('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'), port=6379)

# Producer
mq.put('myqueue', {'message': 'hello'})

# Consumer
message = mq.get('myqueue')
print(message)
