Usage

Instructions

from probcount import ProbCounter
from functools import partial

pc = ProbCounter()

def old_increase_function(counter_name, value):
    # run the real call to the DB increasing the counter
    # for a redis
    # return redis.Redis().incrby(name=counter_name, amount=value)
    # or a MongoDB
    # return (pymongo.MongoClient().database_name.collection_name.find_one_and_update({"_id": counter_name},
                                                                                      {"$inc": {"value": value}},
