topk().list decodes "infinity" as float · Issue #3573 · redis/redis-py (original) (raw)

Version: 5.2.1

Platform: Python 3.13.2

Expected behavior

Calling topk().list() on a topk structure containing the string "infinity" should include the string "infinity" in the results.

>>> import redis as r
>>> redis = r.Redis()
>>> redis.topk().reserve("foo", 10, 20, 20, 0.9)
True
>>> redis.topk().add("foo", "infinity")
[None]
>>> redis.topk().list("foo")
["infinity"]
>>> type(redis.topk().list("foo")[0])
<class 'str'>

Actual behavior

The string "infinity" gets decoded as an inf float value.

>>> import redis as r
>>> redis = r.Redis()
>>> redis.topk().reserve("foo", 10, 20, 20, 0.9)
True
>>> redis.topk().add("foo", "infinity")
[None]
>>> redis.topk().list("foo")
[inf]
>>> type(redis.topk().list("foo")[0])
<class 'float'>
