title: redis server for windows with use for python3
body: <p>So i have a linux server that i use to run a program on, and i like to use windows to code on it as well. up until now i was using json to store and retrieve key,value information from text files. a friend told me to check out redis, so i installed it for python 3.3 using its installer. upon trying to use it, it gave the following error </p>
  
  <pre><code>raise ConnectionError(self._error_message(e))
  redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error 10061 connecting to localhost:6379. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now i was told after this that i needed to get a redis server, but so far the only options i have found are for linux. so the question being how could i get python working with redis on windows? i am completely new to database type storage so any help would be appreciated.
  also on another note if there is a question that was asked that dealt with using python with redis on windows then link that here. i could not find any other questions of this specific nature.</p>
