In order to keep the Redis connection pool consistent across multiple uwsgi worker processes, you can use a shared connection pool object. One way to achieve this is by using a connection pool library such as redis-py and initializing the connection pool object outside of the worker processes.

Here's an example code snippet:

import redis
from uwsgidecorators import postfork

redis_pool = None

@postfork
def init_redis_pool():
    global redis_pool
    redis_pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=6379)

def my_view(request):
    redis_conn = redis.Redis(connection_pool=redis_pool)
    # Use redis_conn to interact with Redis

In this example, the init_redis_pool function is called after the uwsgi worker processes have been forked. It initializes a global redis_pool object that is shared across all worker processes.

Then, in your views or other code that interacts with Redis, you can create a Redis connection using the shared pool:

redis_conn = redis.Redis(connection_pool=redis_pool)

This ensures that all worker processes are using the same Redis connection pool and avoids issues with inconsistent connections.
