Graphite client in python

graphite-client.py

import time
import socket
def collect_metric(name, value, timestamp):
    sock = socket.socket()
    sock.connect( ("localhost", 2003) )
    sock.send("%s %d %d\n" % (name, value, timestamp))
    sock.close()

def now():
    return int(time.time())

collect_metric("metric.name", 42, now())

now should be "return int(time.time())"

Quite correct!

sock.send("%s %d %d\n" % (name, value, timestamp)) should be
sock.send("%s %f %d\n" % (name, value, timestamp)) i was using this script in my Django app and then i figure out that i'm loosing precision ... i was storing 0.0 instead of 0.52 and 0.6
