A simple demonstration of how to use Redis lists for interprocess communication. In this example the producer and consumer processes are spun up from the same script using Python's multiprocessing module, however processes written in a different language or run in a different manner would work in exactly the same way.

1. Get and compile redis

wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make

2. (Optional) run tests

make test

3. (Optional) install - binaries are in src if you don't want to do this

make install

4. Install python's Redis bindings

sudo pip install redis
