Python code example using StatsD

statsd-python.py

   counter = client.get_counter("counter")

   # Create average

       with timer:
           counter += 1  # Increment by one the counter
  
           gauge.set('foo', 10) # Send a gauge of 10
  
           average.send('avg', 5)
  
       time.sleep(1)
