PyRRD is a module that wraps RRDTool (round-robin database tool) to allow for the greatest possible programmatic ease in creating, updating, querying and graphing RRD data. The idea is to make RRDTool insanely easy to use and to be aesthetically pleasing for Python programmers.

It is different from python-rrdtool, which is more a simple way to use rrdtool as by command line, because python-pyrrd wraps options in objects that are more easy and comfortable to use.
