- Around line 393-399: Update _put_managed_entry_if_absent() to preserve
fractional TTL precision by converting managed_entry.ttl to milliseconds and
using Redis SET with the px expiry option through _redis_set_if_absent. Keep the
Redis expiration aligned with expires_at, while retaining the existing no-expiry
behavior when ttl is None.
In `@tests/stores/base.py`:
- Around line 355-371: Update test_put_if_absent_is_atomic so
async_running_in_event_loop() is evaluated when the async test body runs rather
than during module import; move the skip check into the body or remove the
skipif decorator while preserving the existing atomicity assertions.
In `@tests/stores/memory/test_memory.py`:
- Around line 5-8: Add ContextManagerStoreTestMixin to the TestMemoryStore
inheritance list alongside PutIfAbsentStoreTestMixin and BaseStoreTests,
importing it from tests.stores.base so the suite covers context-manager and
explicit-close lifecycle behavior.

_memory_cache_ttu returns a wall-clock epoch timestamp, but TLRUCache defaults to timer=time.monotonic, whose epoch is arbitrary (e.g. time since process start). Comparing a wall-clock expires_at against a monotonic "now" meant cachetools' own TTL eviction never fired -- get() still correctly returned None for expired keys via ManagedEntry's own wall-clock check, but the raw entry never left the cache. In the default (unbounded) config, every TTL'd key that expires without being overwritten leaks forever -- exactly the write-once idempotency-key workload this PR's put_if_absent targets. Also tightened put_if_absent itself: it called self.get() (a full JSON deserialize) just to read an expiry flag already available unparsed on the raw cache entry, and its correctness silently depended on RLock's reentrancy (get() and put() each re-acquiring the same lock). Inlined the write instead of calling self.put(), so the lock is only ever acquired once per call.
BaseWrapper never forwarded put_if_absent, and none of the 17 shipped wrappers added it either. Wrapping any store (Logging, Retry, Encryption, ...) and guarding a write exactly as this PR's own README/docs teach -- isinstance(store, AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol) -- silently evaluated False, so the atomic-write guard was skipped the moment the store was composed with a wrapper. Added put_if_absent to BaseWrapper, forwarding to the wrapped store when it supports the protocol. This can't make isinstance() correctly report False for a wrapper around a non-supporting store, though -- Python's runtime-checkable protocols only check for the method's presence on the wrapper's own class, not on whatever it delegates to, so isinstance(wrapper, AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol) is now unconditionally True for any BaseWrapper subclass. Raising NotImplementedError at call time is the best available signal given that limitation -- silent, or a bare AttributeError, are both worse. Documented the caveat in README.md and docs/api/protocols.md next to the isinstance example.
_ttl_to_milliseconds raised OverflowError/ValueError from math.ceil() for inf/NaN TTLs instead of the library's InvalidTTLError -- currently unreachable through put()/put_if_absent() since prepare_entry_timestamps already rejects them earlier via timedelta(), but worth guarding directly rather than depending on that being true forever. Also extracted the combo_key/json_value construction that _put_managed_entry and _put_managed_entry_if_absent both duplicated verbatim into one helper, and did the same for the collection/setup/ ManagedEntry-construction steps duplicated between BaseStore.put() and BasePutIfAbsentStore.put_if_absent() (new _prepare_write helper) -- future changes to entry construction no longer have to be kept in sync by hand across the two write paths. Fixed test_writes_preserve_ttl_precision's ttl=2.0 case, which produced the same 2000ms result under both the old whole-second-floor SETEX implementation and the new millisecond-ceil SET...PX one, so it never actually exercised the precision fix. Changed to 2.5, which does (verified: reverting to the old flooring makes this case fail).
BaseStore.put() and BasePutIfAbsentStore.put_if_absent() duplicated the same collection-resolution/setup_collection()/prepare_entry_timestamps/ ManagedEntry-construction sequence verbatim. Extracted into a shared _prepare_write() helper on BaseStore so a future change to entry construction only needs to happen in one place. Also exported the other optional protocol segments (AsyncCullProtocol, AsyncDestroyStoreProtocol, AsyncEnumerateKeysProtocol, AsyncEnumerateCollectionsProtocol, AsyncDestroyCollectionProtocol) from key_value.aio.protocols alongside the new AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol -- previously only AsyncKeyValue was exported from the package root, so a user following this PR's own `from key_value.aio.protocols import AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol` pattern by analogy for any other optional protocol would hit an ImportError.

redis-py asyncio Redis.set pxat parameter official documentation
💡 Result:
In the redis-py library, the Redis server's SET command, including the PXAT (set expiry at specified Unix timestamp in milliseconds) option, is exposed through the Redis client interface [1]. For both synchronous and asyncio clients, you use the set method to interact with this functionality [2][3]. The asyncio client, located in the redis.asyncio namespace, mirrors the synchronous API [2]. When using the asyncio client, all commands must be awaited [2]. Regarding the PXAT parameter in redis-py: 1. Support for PXAT and EXAT: While official Redis documentation supports the PXAT and EXAT options for the SET command [1], the redis-py library's set method often accepts these through keyword arguments [4]. 2. Implementation: The library manages these expiration flags by extracting them and translating them into the appropriate command arguments [4]. You can pass an integer (representing the Unix timestamp in milliseconds) or a datetime object to the pxat argument when calling set [5][4]. 3. Usage Pattern: When using the asyncio client, your call would look like: await r.set(name, value, pxat=your_timestamp_or_datetime) [2][4]. Note that while some older versions or specific implementations might require you to pass arguments directly to the command string, modern versions of redis-py provide abstracted keyword arguments for these flags [4]. Always refer to your specific version of the redis-py documentation, as the library frequently updates to match the evolving Redis command set [6][3].

redis-py 4.3.0 Redis.set pxat exat signature
💡 Result:
In redis-py version 4.3.0, the Redis.set method signature includes support for exat and pxat parameters [1][2]. These parameters allow you to specify the expiration time using Unix time [3][4]. The signature for the set method is: Redis.set(name, value, ex=None, px=None, nx=False, xx=False, keepttl=False, get=False, exat=None, pxat=None) Parameter details: - exat: Sets an expire flag on the key using Unix time in seconds [4]. It accepts an integer or a datetime object [1][4]. - pxat: Sets an expire flag on the key using Unix time in milliseconds [4]. It accepts an integer or a datetime object [1][4]. Support for these parameters was added to the library to provide native Unix time support for the SET command, allowing expiration to be set as absolute timestamps rather than relative durations [3]. These options are mutually exclusive with other expiration options like ex and px [5].

Use the managed-entry deadline for Redis conditional writes.
_put_managed_entry_if_absent() passes managed_entry.ttl to _redis_set_if_absent(), which sends SET NX with relative px. If Redis processes the command late, ManagedEntry.is_expired can treat the entry as expired while the Redis key still exists. get() then returns None, but put_if_absent() returns False until Redis expires the key.
For TTL-bound writes, use pxat from managed_entry.expires_at instead of relative px. Keep no expiry when expires_at is None.
