Py-Analytics is a library designed to make it easy to provide analytics as part of any project.
The project's goal is to make it easy to store and retrieve analytics data. It does not provide any means to visualize this data.
Currently, only Redis is supported for storing data.
Requirements should be handled by setuptools, but if they are not, you will need the following Python packages:
- nydus
- redis
- dateutil
- hiredis
Creates an analytics object that allows to to store and retrieve metrics:
>>> from analytics import create_analytic_backend
>>>
>>> analytics = create_analytic_backend({
>>> 'backend': 'analytics.backends.redis.Redis',
>>> 'settings': {
>>> 'defaults': {
>>> 'host': 'localhost',
>>> 'port': 6379,
>>> 'db': 0,
>>> },
>>> 'hosts': [{'db': 0}, {'db': 1}, {'host': 'redis.example.org'}]
>>> },
>>> })Internally, the Redis analytics backend uses nydus to distribute your metrics data over your cluster of redis instances.
There are two required arguements:
backend: full path to the backend class, which should extend analytics.backends.base.BaseAnalyticsBackendsettings: settings required to initialize the backend. For theRedisbackend, this is a list of hosts in your redis cluster.
from analytics import create_analytic_backend
import datetime
analytics = create_analytic_backend({
"backend": "analytics.backends.redis.Redis",
"settings": {
"hosts": [{"db": 5}]
},
})
year_ago = datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=265)
#create some analytics data
analytics.track_metric("user:1234", "comment", year_ago)
analytics.track_metric("user:1234", "comment", year_ago, inc_amt=3)
#we can even track multiple metrics at the same time for a particular user
analytics.track_metric("user:1234", ["comments", "likes"], year_ago)
#or track the same metric for multiple users (or a combination or both)
analytics.track_metric(["user:1234", "user:4567"], "comment", year_ago)
#retrieve analytics data:
analytics.get_metric_by_day("user:1234", "comment", year_ago, limit=20)
analytics.get_metric_by_week("user:1234", "comment", year_ago, limit=10)
analytics.get_metric_by_month("user:1234", "comment", year_ago, limit=6)
#create a counter
analytics.track_count("user:1245", "login")
analytics.track_count("user:1245", "login", inc_amt=3)
#retrieve multiple metrics at the same time
#group_by is one of ``month``, ``week`` or ``day``
analytics.get_metrics([("user:1234", "login",), ("user:4567", "login",)], year_ago, group_by="day")
>> [....]
#retrieve a count
analytics.get_count("user:1245", "login")
#retrieve a count between 2 dates
analytics.get_count("user:1245", "login", start_date=datetime.date(month=1, day=5, year=2011), end_date=datetime.date(month=5, day=15, year=2011))
#retrieve counts
analytics.get_counts([("user:1245", "login",), ("user:1245", "logout",)])get_metric_by_day,get_metric_by_weekandget_metric_by_monthreturnseriesas a set of strings instead of a list of date/datetime objects
- Add more backends possibly...?
- Add an API so it can be deployed as a stand alone service (http, protocolbuffers, ...)
