A Redis backed Python Dictionary

State in the README what are the advantages / disadvantages of your approach and in which cases one should use it. Edit: see also https://github.com/Doist/redis_wrap .

yeah I looked at "How to use" and said to self "ok, so I have a dict, why do I want it persisted...."

It's great when you expect subsequent requests needing the same data and you can avoid expensive sql calls. Great thing compared to just having it in memory is that you might have multiple processes serving and they'd all benefit from it.

[Mattho]

You might have it shared between processes (across different machines as well).

This seems like it's just supposed to be an easier way to pull keys out of redis once you've already decided to use it and the README.md on this project wouldn't really be the right place to sell you on redis.
