+Description: Python 2 client for the Prometheus monitoring system
+ This library provides an API for exporting metrics from a Python application.
+ It provides classes for the metric types, and a http server to expose the
+ metrics to Prometheus.
+ .
+ When using Linux, the process CPU, RAM, file descriptor usage and start time
+ will also be exported.
+ .
+ Along with the http server to expose metrics, you can also write the metrics
+ to a text file to be exported by the prometheus-node-exporter, or push them to
+ the prometheus-pushgateway.
+ .
+ This library also includes support for re-exporting Graphite metrics to
+ Prometheus, custom collectors to proxy metrics for other systems and a parser
+ for the Prometheus text format.
