cannot create ResQ instance if Redis requires a password

[groffhibbitz]

in

def init(self, server="localhost:6379", password=None):

of ResQ object, if you include a password, then it tries to call

self.redis.auth(password)

there is no such method on a redis object, so this doesn't work...

what version of py-redis are you using?

[groffhibbitz]

this is pyres-1.1

but also I checked the lastest code from master and it has the same issue. i thought maybe it was because it was depending specific version of redis-py but none of the ones I've checked have this auth() method.

to work around it for now i'm just creating my own Redis instance, then creating a ResQ object and setting redis in the constructor there.

it seems like this is entirely a problem with not sticking with one particular redis version. The best way to fix this will be for me to take the 2.4 current version of the redis library and doing a feature freeze on it.
