Cloud Redis: is a fully managed Redis service for the Google Cloud. Applications running on Google Cloud can achieve extreme performance by leveraging the highly scalable, available, secure Redis service without the burden of managing complex Redis deployments.
Install this library in a virtual environment using venv. venv is a tool that
creates isolated Python environments. These isolated environments can have separate
versions of Python packages, which allows you to isolate one project’s dependencies
from the dependencies of other projects.
With venv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.

Supported Python Versions
Our client libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of
Python.
Python >= 3.7
Unsupported Python Versions

If you are using an end-of-life
version of Python, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported version.
