RedisBridge is a Python package that handles sending and receiving messages across clients via a Redis server.

pip install RedisBridge

• RedisBridge is intended to connect to a Redis server. To install and run Redis, see the instructions here.
• RedisBridge supports Python 3.6 or later.

1. Spin up a Redis server

$ redis-server --port 6379 &

2. Create a bridge on each client

>>> from RedisBridge import RedisBridge
>>> bridge = RedisBridge(host='localhost', port=6379)

3. Register callbacks to receive messages

>>> def callback(msg):
...     print('Received message:', msg)

>>> bridge.register_callback(callback, 'my_channel')

4. Start each bridge to begin sending/receiving messages

>>> bridge.start()

5. Send messages to other clients via bridge

>>> bridge.send('Hello World!', 'my_channel')

Each bridge calls all callbacks registered with it on the given channel

Received message: <Message: id='t2yedxi3', channel='my_channel', data='Hello World!'>

6. Stop a bridge to close its connection to the server

>>> bridge.stop()
