setex fails with "value is not an integer or out of range"

Hi,

I am trying to use setex method, however it fails with following error:

“value is not an integer or out of range”

I am using it as below:

r.setex(sid, ttl.seconds, jsn) where ttl is a timedelta object

Here is the trace:

▶ Local vars /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py in setex

        return self.execute_command('SETEX', name, time, value)

...

▶ Local vars /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py in execute_command

            return self.parse_response(connection, command_name, **options)

...

▶ Local vars /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/client.py in parse_response

        response = connection.read_response()

...

▶ Local vars /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/redis/connection.py in read_response

            raise response

...

▼ Local vars Variable Value self

<redis.connection.Connection object at 0x10f7050d0>

response

ResponseError(‘value is not an integer or out of range’,)

However the same thing succeeds via it’s non-atomic version:

r.set(sid, jsn) r.expire(sid, ttl.seconds)

what am i doing wrong (if any), or probably there is some bug to be fixed.

If someone is still facing this issue, consider switching from:

r.setex('x', 'y', 1)

to

r.setex('x', 1, 'y')

because according to Redis docs it should be: redis> SETEX mykey 10 "Hello"

Explicit is always better than not.

self._cache.setex(name=key, time=10, value=value)
