Calling pipelined function evalsha is blocked when running redis in cluster mode

[zdc13]

Version: 5.0.0

Platform: Python 3.10 on MacOS 13

Description:

The following code does not work:

client = redis.RedisCluster()
pipe = client.pipeline()
pipe.evalsha(sha, 0)
pipe.execute()

redis.exceptions.RedisClusterException: ERROR: Calling pipelined function evalsha is blocked when running redis in cluster mode...

Why is this disallowed? AFAICT this should work fine if the scripts are loaded. It's disallowed in redis/cluster.py in PIPELINE_BLOCKED_COMMANDS, but no reason is documented.

I'm also trying to run a script with pipeline and getting the same error

can this be addressed, a similar issue in the node version was fixed: as @zdc13 mentioned, there is no reason why EVALSHA should be a blocked command when run in ClusterPipeline as long as the script is loaded which can be ensured.

Any updates here?

Is there any progress on this issue? Maybe the changes from this PR can be ported to the python library?

I also just ran into this.
