python - Redis: How to parse a list result -

i storing list in redis this:

redis.lpush('foo', [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]) 

and list this:

redis.lrange('foo', 0, -1) 

and this:

[b'[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]'] 

how can convert actual python list?

also, don't see defined in response_callbacks can help? missing something?

a possible solution (which in opinion sucks) can be:

result = redis.lrange('foo',0, -1)[0].decode()  result = result.strip('[]')  result = result.split(', ')  # lastly, if know items in list integers result = [int(x) x in result] 

update

ok, got solution.

actually, lpush function expects list items passed arguments , not single list. function signature redis-py source makes clear...

def lpush(self, name, *values):     "push ``values`` onto head of list ``name``"     return self.execute_command('lpush', name, *values) 

what doing above send single list argument, sent redis single item.

i should unpacking list instead suggested in answer:

redis.lpush('foo', *[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]) 

which returns result expect...

redis.lrange('foo', 0, -1) [b'9', b'8', b'7', b'6', b'5', b'4', b'3', b'2', b'1'] 

i think you're bumping semantics similar distinction between list.append() , list.extend(). know works me:

myredis.lpush('foo', *[1,2,3,4]) 

... note * (map-over) operator prefixing list!
