Getting

[David Montgomery]

When I use redis-cli this command works:

hmget cr00000000img:meta url
1) "http://www.test.com"

In python:

redirect = r.hmget("cr00000000img:meta", "url")
print redirect
[None, None, None]

So....where did I err? I would think the result would be [
"http://www.test.com"]

There is one more key in he hash but I only need url.

Thanks

r.hmget("cr00000000img:meta", ["url"])

Hi Andy, this is about API, and API is about taste, but can I ask you
why Python lib does not check the type of the arguments and do the
right thing? This way you could do both:

r.hmget(key,"myfield1","myfield2") and it should work well, but also:

r.hmget(key,fields_array);

I my opinion this is an interface creating less troubles to newcomers.

Cheers,
Salvatore

It was an oversight with hmset. Other methods already allow for this.
I'll fix it when I'm in front of a computer.

Hi Andy, 

Adding to this, I think some unification of the variadic API calls is in order. either go with lists and dicts, or with *args and **kwargs across the board.

for example,

zadd() accepts **kwargs

hmset() accepts a dict

hmget() accepts a list

sadd() accepts *args

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the clarification, I was just interested to understand if
it was a design issue due to some Python feature/pattern I didn't know
or just a matter of implementing it.
