Another way: you can use RedisWorks library.

pip install redisworks

>>> from redisworks import Root
>>> root = Root()
>>> root.something = {1:"a", "b": {2: 2}}  # saves it as Hash type in Redis
...
>>> print(root.something)  # loads it from Redis
{'b': {2: 2}, 1: 'a'}
>>> root.something['b'][2]
2

It converts python types to Redis types and vice-versa.

>>> root.sides = [10, [1, 2]]  # saves it as list in Redis.
>>> print(root.sides)  # loads it from Redis
[10, [1, 2]]
>>> type(root.sides[1])

Disclaimer: I wrote the library. Here is the code: https://github.com/seperman/redisworks
