Fix OSError

in Redis Python

Solution

The "OSError" in redis-python often arises from underlying socket errors like connection timeouts or resets, especially during network instability or server issues. To fix it, implement robust exception handling with retry logic around redis operations, specifically catching `OSError`, `ConnectionError`, and `TimeoutError`, and re-establishing the connection or retrying the command after a short delay. Consider using connection pools with health checks to ensure connections are valid before use.
