Pyrelic 
A New Relic client library written in Python.
While New Relic's documentation for their API is very solid, the usage details are pretty sparse and biased toward the Rails Active Resource helper library.
The documentation in this library's docstrings was derived from the New Relic Ruby API.
NOTE See the Changelog for notes about the latest release.
