TooManyRequests

✓ from redis_rate_limit import TooManyRequests

Basic usage of the rate_limit decorator, limiting to 10 calls per 60 seconds.

import redis from rate_limit import rate_limit r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0) @rate_limit(r, max_calls=10, period=60) def my_function(): print('Function called') for _ in range(12): my_function()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe rate_limit decorator uses a sliding window, but requires a Redis instance. If Redis is down, the decorator will raise redis.exceptions.ConnectionError. The library does not handle connection failures gracefully.

fix

Wrap decorated calls in try-except or implement a fallback mechanism (e.g., check Redis availability before decorating).

affects: all

deprecatedIn v0.0.9, deprecated distutils.version was removed. This may affect users relying on Python 2.7 support (which was also removed). The library now requires Python 3.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3 and use v0.0.9 or later.

affects: >=0.0.9

gotchaThe package uses a global redis client reference; if multiple decorators or context managers are used with different Redis instances, the wrong instance may be used due to how the library stores the connection internally.

fix

Instantiate a new rate limiter object locally or ensure only one Redis instance is used. Check the source code for details.
