This is an expected behavior. Redis itself doesn't make a distinction between string and number types. txredisapi tries to guess the type if convertNumbers is set to True (this is the default). So, if you set a number-like string, you will get back an integer.

You can disable this auto-converting by adding convertNumbers=False to lazyConnectionPool(...). But in this case you will always get a string, even if you wrote an integer.

Thinks, very much!
