AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode' (no support for multi-bulk reply to SUBSCRIBE command)

See original GitHub issue

From time to time I get error:

redis_client = redis.StrictRedis.from_url('redis://localhost:6379/0')
pubsub = redis_client.pubsub()
for message in pubsub.listen():
    # ...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Has anyone in this thread had any luck? I’m encountering the same issue when using redis as a backend for celery. I’m using redis(2.10.5).
