Python Client for Stackdriver Error Reporting
=============================================

|pypi| |versions|

The Stackdriver `Error Reporting`_ API counts, analyzes and aggregates the
crashes in your running cloud services.  A centralized error management
interface displays the results with sorting and filtering capabilities. A
dedicated view shows the error details: time chart, occurrences, affected user
count, first and last seen dates and a cleaned exception stack trace. Opt-in
to receive email and mobile alerts on new errors.

Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Install this library in a `virtualenv`_ using pip. `virtualenv`_ is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With `virtualenv`_, it's possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
