How to Build a Redis Leaderboard with ZREVRANGE in Python
Build a sorted leaderboard by storing player scores as a Redis sorted set and reading the top scores with ZREVRANGE in Python.
import redis
import random
# Connect to local Redis (ensure Redis is running on localhost:6379)
r = redis.Redis(host="localhost", port=6379, db=0, decode_responses=True)
# Clear any existing test data
r.delete("game_scores")
# Simulate player scores
players = ["alice", "bob", "charlie", "dave", "eve"]

This code implements a SQL-style ROW_NUMBER() window function in pure Python, partitioning rows by a set of columns and ranking them within each partition by an ordered set of columns.
from collections import defaultdict
import itertools
def row_number(rows, partition_by, order_by):
partitions = defaultdict(list)
for index, row in enumerate(rows):
key = tuple(row[col] for col in partition_by)
partitions[key].append((index, row))
result = []
for key in partitions:
