Version: 0.0.1

----------------------------------
Description
----------------------------------

Wrapper for PyMongo Connection that offers additional application level
monitoring.
When connecting to multiple MongoDB servers, allows you to verify connectivity
to MongoDB slave servers.

----------------------------------
Problem this solves
----------------------------------

Although the built in monitoring page for mongo is awesome it misses one
situation.
This is when the mongo servers can talk to each other and the app can talk to
the master but the application has not been verified to be able to communicate
with the slave.

Usage
----------------------------------

Use it as you would pymongo and call the check health method on connection

import pymongo_frisk as pymongo

connection =
pymongo.connection.Connection.from_uri("mongo://username:password@host1,host2/da
tabase")
results = connection.check_health()

results is a dictionary as follows:
{'db_master_url': 'host2', 'db_slave_url': 'host1', 'db_master_can_write': True,
'db_slave_can_read': True, 'db_master_can_read': True}
