Thanks for these answers. Long story short we have a statistical
analysis tool written in Python that we need to run with Shinken data as
an input. This library doesn't use a web frontend so as I said I don't
want to have to call an HTTP service just for the sake of it, even if
the API has nice querying and aggregation tools.

Another advantage of using the graphite API compared to the whisper
library directly would be that graphite checks for values into Carbon's
cache, but I'm not sure that's really relevant... I don't think the
Carbon cache holds values for a very long time ? Am I right by saying
that the cache is empty most of the time, except when Carbon's write
limits are reached ?

Anyway we'll check if the whisper library is good enough for our need
and let you know if we end up doing a separated library with the render
API.

Thanks
