SSH tunnels for your redis.Connection and redis.ConnectionPool, using Paramiko

This module allows you to connect to a remote redis server without having to rely on redis for authentication and security. It should be a drop-in replacement for code that's already using the standard redis-py module's Connection and ConnectionPool classes, just add the ssh connection keyword-arguments or use the sane defaults.

RedisSSHConnectionPool can work in one of two ways:

1. Non-shared, where each redis connection has it's own SSH client connection with a single forwarded channel. To use this behavior, pass the constructor keyword argument ssh_shared=False

   code example

2. Shared, where there is a single SSH client connection for the ConnectionPool instance, and the connections in the pool are multiplexed each on it's own channel.

   code example

Which of these is right for you depends on a number of factors, and on how your application makes use of redis.

• port to asyncio, as it is the future, and the future is now
• is there an asyncio pure python ssh implementation comparable to paramiko? (look into this further)

• docs
• tests
• profit
