python 3.14 compatibility: allow redis 7

[morotti]

Hello,

celery[redis] and kombu[redis] are not installable on python 3.14 because they pin an old version of redis.

redis added support for python 3.14 in redis 7.1.0 https://github.com/redis/redis-py/releases

Could you please remove this pin?
Pretty sure it's useless and was added over defensely, it was added to stop 6.5 when there was no 6.5 or 7.0 release.

Regards.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Redis dependency constraint to allow redis-py version 7.x for Python 3.14 compatibility. The PR description indicates that celery[redis] and kombu[redis] are not installable on Python 3.14 because of the restrictive upper bound pinning, and that redis-py added Python 3.14 support in version 7.1.0.

Changes:

• Updated the upper bound constraint for redis from <6.5 to <8 in requirements/extras/redis.txt

The change from <6.5 to <8 is a significant version jump that skips redis 6.x and 7.x entirely without testing. While the PR description mentions redis 7.1.0 added Python 3.14 support, the codebase currently has version checks for redis.VERSION[0] >= 3 and redis.VERSION < (3, 2, 0) which suggest it was designed for redis-py 3.x and above. Consider: (1) updating to <7 first to allow redis 6.x versions that are known to work, or (2) ensuring CI tests pass with redis 7.x before releasing this change. The version constraint progression has been <6 → <6.2 → <6.5 (implicitly) → <8 (proposed), which is a large jump.

Suggested change

	redis>=4.5.2,!=4.5.5,!=5.0.2,<8
	redis>=4.5.2,!=4.5.5,!=5.0.2,<7

this is an extremely stupid reply from the AI. 6.x was already used by the <6.5 constraint.

[Copilot]

There is an inconsistency in redis version constraints across the repository. The file requirements/funtest.txt specifies redis>=4.5.2,!=5.0.2,!=4.5.5 without an upper bound, while this file now has <8. Consider aligning these constraints to ensure consistent behavior across different testing and installation scenarios.

Suggested change

	redis>=4.5.2,!=4.5.5,!=5.0.2,<8
	redis>=4.5.2,!=4.5.5,!=5.0.2
