I am in a similar situation, and strongly prefer rrdtool direct port API into 
Python since that is then portable; but it does not seem to be available for 
Windows, only Linux.

Odd to me, Windows is 20x the Linux market, and Python is the best scripting 
language around (! :) ), but little rrd penetration there in this overlap. Perl 
has a good Windows binding, lots of dusty old threads of the Python one, but I 
couldn't find anything working.

Subject: [rrd-users] Python and RRDTool

I'm currently working on a Python application that will eventually use RRDTool 
to draw some graphs based on some statistics that I collect.

I'm wondering if people on this list would recommend using any of the existing 
python libraries for RRDTool (it looks like to two most robust ones are pyrrd 
and rrdfile):

http://code.google.com/p/pyrrd/
http://code.google.com/p/rrdfile/

But I see many comments about rrdfile leaking memory, so I'm hesitant to use 
that one. pyrrd looks ok, but I'm not sure if it would be easier to use that 
library or just write my own class with a few methods for creating and updating 
my RRDTool files and graphs.

I'd really appreciate anyone's comments about your experience and 
recommendations. It seems like there would be a more mature solution for python 
at this point, but I'm rather hesitant to use them after having a brief look at 
the code.

Regards,

Kelly
