sprockets.clients.statsd
========================
The ``sprockets.clients.statsd`` package implements a simple statsd client that
is used by the ``sprockets.mixins.statsd`` package. It can be used in your
applications for sending metric values to statsd.

The default statsd server that is used is localhost:8125. The ``STATSD_HOST``
and ``STATSD_PORT`` environment variables can be used to set the statsd server
connection parameters. Note that the socket for communicating with statsd is
created once upon module import and will not change until the application is
restarted or the module is reloaded.
