"""Implementation of the redis client (redis-py_).
 
.. _redis-py: https://github.com/redis/redis-py
 
This implementation uses the :ref:`settings redis` setup from ``settings.yml``.
A redis DB connect can be tested by::
 
  >>> from searx import redisdb
  >>> redisdb.initialize()
  True
  >>> db = redisdb.client()
  >>> db.set("foo", "bar")
  True
  >>> db.get("foo")
  b'bar'
