Ratchet.io generic python library

pyratchet is a generic library for reporting exceptions and other messages to Ratchet.io:

import ratchet, sys
ratchet.init('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN', 'production')  # access_token, environment

try:
    main_app_loop()
except IOError:
    ratchet.report_message('Got an IOError in the main loop', 'warning')
except:
    # catch-all
    ratchet.report_exc_info(sys.exc_info())
