python - Connecting my django app to the redis installation -

i have django app. app normal application. running fine me.

i want implement leaderboard of now. read couple of places redis helps in doing it. , awesome. installed , configured redis on server.

a minimal representation of user profile me is:

class userprofile(models.model):      user = models.onetoonefield(user)     invited_friends = models.booleanfield(default=false)     filled_wishlist = models.booleanfield(default=false)     upvote = models.integerfield()     downvote = models.integerfield()      @property     def reputation(self):         return int(confidence_fixed(self.upvote, self.downvote)*100) 

based on reputation property, value. happening @ postgresql db backend.

now want is, take these scores, put them in redis key value store, , generate leaderboard. there superawesome redis library implementing leaderboard: https://github.com/agoragames/leaderboard-python

so question is, given redis server running @ xxx.xxx.xx.xx:6342 how connect python/django app redis server, , update kv store, , once there numbers, how fetch in view , display?

i think you're on right track leaderboard-python library.

first need write onetime script move data model redis using leaderboard-python.

# create new leaderboard reputation_lb = leaderboard('reputation')  profile in userprofile.objects.all():      reputation.rank_member('user_%i' % profile.user.pk, profile.reputation) 

you need create property on userprofile model retrieves reputation leaderboard-python.

then want update score, either duplicate information in database , continue use reputation property update leaderboard, or increment/decrement score stored in redis.

the readme of leaderboard-python library quite , should contain of examples need build this.
