Resched is a minimal library for working with durable Queues and Schedules on Redis.
Queues: Resched has a Queue class that, by default, has a 2-stage pop. This means that when you pop something off the top of the queue, it's kept in another queue until you say you're done with it for real.
Schedulers: Schedulers let you solve the problem of having an event take
place at a set time in the future. A Scheduler functions essentially like
a Queue, but inserted items get a timestamp after which they become "due",
and a pop operation will only return non-None when the first item's
due date is in the past. This is accomplished using Redis's Sorted Set
data structure, and as such is a constant time operation. It also uses
the 2-phased pop convention that the Resched Queue does.
ContentType: a really simple way to store data of various types in a
Resched collection: including JSON, ints, longs, etc. All casting/
parsing/ etc. is handled within Resched, so you can just throw dicts at it
without having to think too much.
