statsd is a friendly front-end to Graphite. This is a Python client for the statsd daemon.
Quickly, to use:
>>> import aerostatsd
>>> c = aerostatsd.StatsClient('localhost', 8125)
>>> c.incr('foo') # Increment the 'foo' counter.
>>> c.timing('stats.timed', 320) # Record a 320ms 'stats.timed'.
You can also add a prefix to all your stats:
>>> import aerostatsd
>>> c = aerostatsd.StatsClient('localhost', 8125, prefix='foo')
>>> c.incr('bar') # Will be 'foo.bar' in statsd/graphite.
