Merge with fakeredis package

[cunla]

Hi,

I am the maintainer of fakeredis.
I noticed that redislite is not maintained, and I was wondering who can I talk with regarding merging the two packages.
A lot of the issues here are addressed by fakeredis.

Thanks,
Daniel

I would be excited if "merging" with fakeredis meant that fakeredis gained a mode in which it behaves like redislite, in the sense of using the actual redis-py code, connected to a version of the actual Redis code. People can (and do) argue all day about unit tests vs partial integration tests, and which combinations of units should be tested together. The ability to automatically generate integration tests from unit tests by changing what you patch, is really useful. Doing it all through a single Python test package would be very convenient.

Of course the redislite-like mode would not be pure-python, and presumably it wouldn't run directly on Windows. So I understand if it's not what you have in mind! The same thing can be achieved by writing different test fixtures for the different configurations: it's "just" a bunch of dependencies for each project to manage.
