For one of my websites scenata.com, I use two tracking services. The first one is Google Analytics, ant the second is reinvigorate.net. I use Analytics for long term statistics and observation of visitors’ trends and reinvigorate for live user’s statistics like who is on the website at this moment and what pages are open. Also the referrers are displayed with their full URLs in reinvigorate. The service also provides application called Snoop for live visitors’ statistics, which is great but it comes only for Windows and MacOS X. My primary computers is running Debian Linux and I was able to run the Windows version of Snoop but it just looks ugly :). So I decided to implement the protocol used for communication between reinvigorate and Snoop in Python (not my primary language but I’m writing my graduation paper on it so I gave it a try). This gave birth to PySnoop: Python class and sample script, which gives you the ability to monitor your reinvigorate account. It’s still in early alpha stage of development ‘cause I’m the only one using it :), but even this version is working fine.
I you’re interested, you can download the latest version here: GoogleCode or use svn with Anonymous checkout:
