title: redis-py : What's the difference between StrictRedis() and Redis()?
body: <p>I want to use <em>redis-py</em> for caching some data, but I can't find a suitable explanation of the difference between <code>redis.StrictRedis()</code> and <code>redis.Redis()</code>. Are they equivalent?</p>
  
  <p>In addition, I can't find any clear documentation about <code>redis.StrictRedis()</code>'s arguments in <a href="http://redis-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest" rel="noreferrer">Redis Python Docs</a>.
  Any idea?</p>
