**PyMetrics** is versatile metrics collection library for Python that encapsulates the collection of counters, gauges,
histograms, and timers into a generic interface with pluggable publishers so that you can helpfully instrument your
applications without suffering vendor lock.

------------

Publishing metrics is a straightforward process involving two steps. First, configure your metrics and publisher(s):

.. code-block:: python

    METRICS_CONFIG = {
        'version': 2,
        'error_logger_name': 'pymetrics',
        'publishers': [
            {
                'path': 'pymetrics.publishers.datadog.DogStatsdPublisher',
                'kwargs': {
                    'host': 'localhost',
                    'port': 8135,
                },
            },
        ],
    }

Then, use a ``pymetrics.recorders.base.MetricsRecorder`` in your application to collect and publish:

.. code-block:: python

    from pymetrics.recorders.default import DefaultMetricsRecorder

    metrics = DefaultMetricsRecorder(config=settings.METRICS_CONFIG)

    metrics.counter('counter.name').increment()

    metrics.gauge('gauge.name', tag_name1='tag_value1', tag_name2='tag_value2').set(12)

    metrics.histogram('histogram.name').set(1730)

    with metrics.timer('timer.name'):
        do_something()

    cumulative_timer = metrics.timer('cumulative_timer.name')
    for item in items:
        do_something_without_timing()
        with cumulative_timer:
            do_something_with_timing()

    metrics.publish_all()

Provided publisher plugins include Statsd, Datadog, Python Logging, SQLite, and a null publisher. Writing your own is
simple and we encourage you to share your work with the community by submitting a pull request.
