## What it is
A Python client library for connecting to Redis Cluster (Redis 3.0+), built on top of redis-py and ported from antirez's redis-rb-cluster. The project is end-of-life since its functionality was merged into redis-py 4.1.0.

## Use cases
- connect to a redis cluster from python
- python client for redis cluster mode
- distribute redis keys across cluster nodes
- migrate legacy redis-py-cluster code to redis-py
- run redis cluster commands in python 3

## When to choose
- you are stuck on redis-py older than 4.1.0 and need cluster support
- maintaining a legacy codebase already using this package

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use redis-py 4.1.0+ which has native cluster support
- you need ongoing bug fixes or support for newer Redis features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: redis, redis-cluster, redis-py, eol, cluster-client
