 def get_connection(self, command_name, *keys, **options):
 """ Get a connection, blocking for ``self.timeout`` until a connection is available from the pool. If the connection returned is ``None`` then creates a new connection. Because we use a last-in first-out queue, the existing connections (having been returned to the pool after the initial ``None`` values were added) will be returned before ``None`` values. This means we only create new connections when we need to, i.e.: the actual number of connections will only increase in response to demand. """
