Question

I do not know ruby but I know python. What is the python equivalent for running the below code? This example was taken from the redis website. So, what is this?

<<EOF?

would it be in python:

  RandomPushScript = """
    Lua code here
   """


RandomPushScript = <<EOF
    local i = tonumber(ARGV[1])
    local res
    math.randomseed(tonumber(ARGV[2]))
    while (i > 0) do
        res = redis.call('lpush',KEYS[1],math.random())
        i = i-1
    end
    return res
EOF

r.del(:mylist)
puts r.eval(RandomPushScript,1,:mylist,10,rand(2**32))

Answer 1

The << indicates a HereDoc. After it there is a marker (here EOF). The next lines are a string, until the marker appears again.
So yes, """ would be the Python equivalent.
