The TCP server example shows a different protocol than the default redis protocol. (As I could not install it correctly I couldn't try it.) If this is the case current redis client libraries cannot be used.

Hello, Redis accepts both a structured protocol, and a simple space-separated tokens protocol (called the inline protocol) that helps sysadmins to avoid a disaster just because they lack a proper redis-cli but are in need to run a Redis command ASAP. Perhaps this proxy is also supporting both forms. You can do that with any modern enough Redis server: Escape character is '^]'. ping +PONG set foo bar +OK get foo $3 bar

  I know of that simple protocol. But the responses in the example telnet session on that side return "True" and "13" where it should be "+OK" and ":13" with the redis protocol.

  It doesn't support like this. It seems easy to implement it like that though. I will do it when I have free time.

What was the problem for installation? I use redis-router in production as a library. some of my non-pythoneer friends asked to use it in PHP, so I made a little wrapper with gevent. It's probably not compatible with current clients. Needs testing :)

  Had problems installing "ketama". I re-read the README now and it explicitely states that libketama should be installed from the git repository. I'll try it again later.

The servers are returning the output of the redis-py library, which maps returned values from redis into python objects (hashes -> dicts etc). I had a quick look but I don't see an easy way to have redis-py pass forward the raw return values, though I think it could be done with some effort. So this isn't a drop in proxy for a redis server just yet. Edit: referring to the TCP/HTTP Servers above, the library itself can be used as a drop in replacement for redis-py in python.
