A Python library for sending data to Honeycomb (http://honeycomb.io)

Summary

libhoney is written to ease the process of sending data to Honeycomb from within your python code.

For an overview of how to use a honeycomb library, see our documentation at https://honeycomb.io/docs/send-data/sdks/

For specifics on the python libhoney, check out the pydoc

Basic usage:

• call init to initialize libhoney with your Honeycomb writekey and dataset name
• create an event object and populate it with fields
• send the event object
• call close when your program is finished

Example

# call init before using libhoney
libhoney.init(writekey="abcd1234", dataset="my data")
# create an event and add fields to it
ev = Event()
ev.add_field("duration_ms", 153.12)
ev.add_field("method", "get")
# send the event
ev.send()

# when all done, call close
libhoney.close()

You can find a more complete example demonstrating usage in example.py
