FAQs

What Python versions are supported?

Python 2.6 and 2.7. It should be trivial to port to Python 3.x, but I haven't tried that out as yet.

What dump file versions are supported?

All Versions. We have unit tests for versions 2 through 5.

Why doesn't expiry datetime match what's in the dump file?

The dump file stores the unix time in milliseconds precision. This does not have the timezone information. The parser converts this unix time into UTC. Your local clock may or may not be running UTC, and hence the difference.

If you know the timezone used while saving records in redis, you can always convert the UTC time back to the correct timezone.
