[Python] Redis Cache - HSET and mapping error in python

All,

I'm learning Redis Cache on my Windows 11 laptop with Redis Cache deployed as a container in the Docker for Desktop. The Redis-Server version is v8.0.3 and I'm using redis client for python v6.2.

I'm getting an error when I use mapping with HSET command. I tried changing the redis client to v5.3 and 4.2 but it is not helping. I tried taking the help of copilot and chatgpt but they have been unable to help as well. I checked the official documentation as well and it seems to indicate mapping is appropriate method as well - Redis Official Documentation

Below is the code and error:

Python Code:

import redis

r = redis.Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, decode_responses=True)

user_info = {
"username": "gopi",
"email": "gopi@example.com",
"role": "admin",
"last_login": "2024-07-01"
}

r.hset("user:1001", mapping=user_info)

# Fetch email
print("Email:", r.hget("user:1001", "email"))

# Update role
r.hset("user:1001", "role", "superadmin")

# Fetch full profile
print("Profile:", r.hgetall("user:1001"))
