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: 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'
