REST API for Odoo: not working with redis (which works perfectly on its own)

Question

Hello,
We've just bought the REST API for Odoo (https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/8.0/rest_api/) and followed the simple installation procedure. I begin testing with the default (and unsure) redis configuration. Redis works perfectly on its own (test ping with redis-cli),
When launching it inside Odoo (odoo.py -d MYDB -u rest_api) I get the following message:
2017-06-20 13:49:52,820 8110 ERROR comme_prod0523 openerp.addons.rest_api.controllers.redisdb: <REDIS> ERROR: Failed to connect to Redis-

I get this:
http://127.0.0.1:6379/api/res.partner
=
-ERR wrong number of arguments for 'get' command
When I try to connect to my odoo I get this:
127.0.0.1:8069/api/res.partner = 404 Error

My config in systemparameters =
redis_host = 127.0.0.1
redis_port = 6379
redis_db = 0
redis_password = None

my redis server is running:
redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 ping = PONG

redis   3524   1 0 10:52 ?    00:00:01 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379

The problem was with the python-redis package included in Ubuntu.
Do not use
sudo apt-get install python-redis
but download and install https://pypi.python.org/pypi/redis
