How to use sadd with multiple elements in Redis using Python API?

Question

Please consider the following example

>>import redis
>>redis_db_url = \'127.0.0.1\'
>>r = redis.StrictRedis(host = redis_db_url,port = 6379,db          


        

Answer 1

When you see the syntax *values in an argument list, it means the function takes a variable number of arguments.

Therefore, call it as

r.sadd('a', 1, 2, 3)

You can pass an iterable by using the splat operator to unpack it:

r.sadd('a', *set([3, 4]))

or

r.sadd('a', *[3, 4])
