Paginating "KEYS" command on Redis

I need all the keys in redis matching a given pattern : *_xyz_*, then I get all their values by following python code:-

  def get_keys(self,pattern):
    self.r_prod.keys(pattern);
    keys = self.r_prod.execute();

    for i in keys[0]:
      self.r_prod.get(i);
    return self.r_prod.execute();

Now keys is pretty huge to hold all in the memory. So, I am wondering is there any way to paginate keys call for a certain limit?

Use SCAN command:

>>> import redis
>>> r = redis.Redis()
>>> for x in r.scan_iter('dummy*'):
...   print(x)
... 
b'dummy3'
b'dummy2'
b'dummy1'
