Usage statistics collector

This package is meant to easily get usage statistics from the users of your

program.

Statistics will be collected but won't be uploaded until the user opts in. A

message will be printed on stderr asking the user to explicitly opt in or opt

out.

Usage

-----

You can easily collect information from your program by adding usagestats to

your project's requirements and using the library. Here is an example::

    import usagestats

    import sys

    optin_prompt = usagestats.Prompt(enable='cool_program --enable-stats',

                                     disable='cool_program --disable-stats')

    # Location where to store stats

    # Also allocates a unique ID for the user

    # The version is important, since the information you log (or the format)

    # might change in later versions of your program

    stats = usagestats.Stats('~/.myprog/usage_stats',

                             optin_prompt,

                             'https://usagestats.example.org/',

                             unique_user_id=True,

                             version='0.1')

    def main():

        if len(sys.argv) < 2:

            pass

        elif sys.argv.get(1) == '--enable-stats':

            stats.enable_reporting()

            sys.exit(0)

        elif sys.argv.get(1) == '--disable-stats':

            stats.disable_reporting()

            sys.exit(0)

        if sys.version_info < (3,):

            # Stores some info, will be reported when submit() is called

            stats.note({'mode': 'compatibility'})

        # Report things

        stats.submit(

            # Dictionary containing the info

            {'what': 'Ran the program'},

            # Flags making usagestats insert more details

            usagestats.OPERATING_SYSTEM,  # Operating system/distribution

            usagestats.PYTHON_VERSION,    # Python version info

            usagestats.SESSION_TIME,      # Time since Stats object was created

        )

    if __name__ == '__main__':

        main()

`submit()` will, by default, store the info in the specified directory. Nothing

will be reported until the user opts in; a message will simply be printed to

stderr::

    Uploading usage statistics is currently DISABLED

    Please help us by providing anonymous usage statistics; you can enable this

    by running:

        cool_program --enable-stats

    If you do not want to see this message again, you can run:

        cool_program --disable-stats

    Nothing will be uploaded before you opt in.

Server

------

To collect the reports, any server will do; the reports are uploaded via POST

as a LF-separated list of ``key:value`` pairs. A simple script for mod_wsgi is

included; it writes each report to a separate file. Writing your own

implementation in your language of choice (PHP, Java) with your own backend

should be fairly straightforward.
