  Description     : Python client for the Prometheus monitoring system

This library provides an API for exporting metrics from a Python application.
It provides classes for the metric types, and a http server to expose the
metrics to Prometheus.

When using Linux, the process CPU, RAM, file descriptor usage and start time
will also be exported.

Along with the http server to expose metrics, you can also write the metrics
to a text file to be exported by the prometheus-node-exporter, or push them to
the prometheus-pushgateway.

This library also includes support for re-exporting Graphite metrics to
Prometheus, custom collectors to proxy metrics for other systems and a parser
for the Prometheus text format.

My plan is to maintain this as part of the Python Modules team, although I am
not currently a member.
