decode_responses in StrictRedis ignored when using ConnectionPool

See original GitHub issue

>>> import redis
>>> p = redis.ConnectionPool()
>>> r = redis.StrictRedis(connection_pool=p, decode_responses=True)
>>> r.set('key', 'value')
True
>>> r.get('key')
b'value'  # should be just value (unicode instead of bytes)

I am aware that the problem arises from ConnectionPool passing its’ own arguments to Connection, which is why some would say it is desired behaviour. On the other hand I don’t understand why the parser is created per Connection, not per client - wouldn’t it actually solve the issue?

Thanks.

This continues to work as intended. If you’re creating your own Connection Pool instance, you need to provide all connection options, including decode_responses, to the ConnectionPool. You can do this either by passing those options directly to ConnectionPool.__init__() or via a connection URL.

If you supply the connection_pool argument to the Redis class, all other connection options to the Redis class are ignored.
