Redis channel layer backend for Django Channels

Reuse redis connection

Is there any way to reuse the connection to redis that channels sets up?
I would like to store data in redis independently of channels, without establishing another connection with redis-py.

There's no public API for it, but the channel layer maintains a reference to the connection.

e.g.

channels_redis/channels_redis/core.py

Line 81 in 8b4ed2d

self._connections[index] = aioredis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)
