 ```python
 from redis import asyncio as aioredis

 Now that aioredis is under Redis officially, I hope there will never be an unmaintained, asyncio Redis lib in the Python ecosystem again. I will be helping out maintenance at Redis-py for the foreseeable future just to get some of the asyncio stuff out of the way. There are also some bugs that didn't make it into the [PR](https://github.com/redis/redis-py/pull/1899) that I'll be slowly migrating over throughout the next few weeks -- so long as my exams don't kill me beforehand :)
