With the RedisGears Python plugin, you can write RedisGears functions in [Python](https://www.python.org/) and run them on a [Redis Software](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/) cluster.

The Python plugin allows both batch processing and event-driven processing.

Before you can run RedisGears with Python, you will need to [install the RedisGears module and the Python plugin](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/deprecated-features/gears-v1/installing-redisgears#install-redisgears) on your Redis Software cluster and [enable them for your database](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/deprecated-features/gears-v1/python/install).

Once you have written your code, upload it to a node on your Redis Software cluster. Use the `RG.PYEXECUTE` command with the `redis-cli` command-line tool to run your code.
