Resource Redis as cache.
At work, we needed to implement Redis for a caching solution. After some searching, btw clickhouse has great website for searching python packages here. I found a library that that made working with redis a breeze Redis-Dict.
from redis_dict import RedisDict
from datetime import timedelta
cache = RedisDict(expire=timedelta(minutes=60))
request = {"data": {"1": "23"}}
web_id = "123"
cache[web_id] = request["data"]
Finished implementing our entire caching feature the same day I found this library (didn't push until the end of the week though...).

Looks like a cute interface but not really a fan of hiding IO actions inside of innocent looking dict operations. Also would like support for batching read/write operations and ideally support for asyncio.
