def connect_redis(redis_client, name=None, transaction=False):
return ConnectionManager.connect_redis(<EOL>redis_client=redis_client, name=name, transaction=transaction)<EOL>
Connect your redis-py instance to redpipe.

Example:

.. code:: python

    redpipe.connect_redis(redis.StrictRedis(), name='users')


Do this during your application bootstrapping.

You can also pass a redis-py-cluster instance to this method.

.. code:: python

    redpipe.connect_redis(rediscluster.StrictRedisCluster(), name='users')


You are allowed to pass in either the strict or regular instance.

.. code:: python

    redpipe.connect_redis(redis.StrictRedis(), name='a')
    redpipe.connect_redis(redis.Redis(), name='b')
    redpipe.connect_redis(rediscluster.StrictRedisCluster(...), name='c')
    redpipe.connect_redis(rediscluster.RedisCluster(...), name='d')
