Maintenance status?

[shacker]

Heard some nice praise about this project in a recent episode of the django-chat podcast. It looks like exactly what I'm looking for, but am concerned that there have been no updates in 6 years. Is this project still maintained, or is it still considered stable? Is it fully Python 3 / Django 3 compatible? Or are there other projects that have superceded it? Thanks.

Related: It does not look like there is a pip install option for this (not available on pypi), which makes things difficult for deployment stacks. Is one planned?

Ah! I see that this package actually IS available on pypi -- I got the mistaken impression from the readme, which didn't mention it and said to install via setup.py.

Replacing the comment text that was previously here, which turned out to be related to a separate unpinned dependency in our project. Sorry for any confusion. My actual finding so far is that this lib continues to work great, even if it appears to be unmaintained.

Delighted to hear people are still finding use for qr. It indeed hasn’t had updates, but it should be stable so long as the redis interface has remained the same. The redis team is still quite good at maintaining backwards compatibility, especially for the primitive operations used here (I don’t think we use anything implemented after 2011, at the latest).

I’ll try to do a pass over on it sometime soon and rig up some new tests if folks still find it useful.
