Description: Description of your issue, stack traces from errors and code that reproduces the issue

redis lock acquiring not working - stays running and never acquires

this is my code:

pool = aioredis.ConnectionPool.from_url("redis://localhost:6379")
redis = await aioredis.Redis(connection_pool=pool, ssl=False, ssl_cert_reqs="None")

async with redis.lock("hello_lock") as lock:
    print("hello")
    await redis.hset("hello", "1", "2")

the Context Manager never gets entered and it seems like the lock is not being acquired at all. The program stays running/stuck on this line: async with redis.lock("hello_lock") as lock:

Acquiring the lock should be a very quick thing so i'm confused whats happening here. Any help would be appreciated.

hi @3awny have you tried using a different version of python and redis-py? I'm currently looking into using async redis lock with fastapi, but could not find any example online. Not sure if it will work...
