pyratchet is a generic library for reporting exceptions and other messages to Ratchet.io:

import ratchet, sys
ratchet.init('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN', 'production')  # access_token, environment

try:
    main_app_loop()
except IOError:
    ratchet.report_message('Got an IOError in the main loop', 'warning')
except:
    # catch-all
    ratchet.report_exc_info(sys.exc_info())

pyratchet requires:

• Python 2.6 or 2.7
• requests 0.12+
• a Ratchet.io account

Install using pip:

pip install ratchet

Somewhere in your initialization code, call ratchet.init() with your access_token:

ratchet.init('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE', environment='production')

Other options can be passed as keyword arguments. See the reference below for all options.

Call pyratchet.report_exc_info() to report an exception, or pyratchet.report_message() to report an arbitrary string message. See the docstrings for more info.
