<p class=MsoNormal>I'm currently working on a Python application that will
eventually use RRDTool to draw some graphs based on some statistics that I
collect.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>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):<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://code.google.com/p/pyrrd/">http://code.google.com/p/pyrrd/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://code.google.com/p/rrdfile/">http://code.google.com/p/rrdfile/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
