point tags in pyformance?

[moribellamy]

Hi, thanks for this library.

Does pyformance support point tags? For example, AFAIK a graphite metric is a name, a timestamp (possibly implied), and a value, e.g. "cpu.idle [now] 42". Some metrics monitoring solutions allow point tags, for example you could have:

cpu.idle 42 host=myFoo env=prod
cpu.idle 23 host=myBar env=dev

and on the solution you could do aggregations by environment, or host, etc.

If pyformance does not support point tags, would allow a contribution adding support for them? Along with a reporter that knows how to stream points to a TCP socket?

I'd very much appreciate a contribution, if you think this is helpful. Unfortunately, I'm not working with python right now, so I'm not planning on adding anything myself.

If you submit a pr, I'd be more than happy to merge it
