PYGA: Python Google Analytics - Data Collection API
pyga is an implementation of Google Analytics (ga.js) in Python; so that it can be used at server side. This project only helps you with Data Collection part of Google Analytics. ie., You can consider this as a replacement for ga.js at client side.
Google Provides Android SDK,iOS SDK + Flash SDK. And left everybody else with a single page documentation about GIF request parameters. Also with a basic sample of server side implementation in quite a few languages (perl, php, jsp).
PS: Google moved away from ga.js to analytics.js; a new operating standard for Google Analytics named "universal analytics". Soon ga.js will be deprecated. I'm planning to have a pyga equivalent to the new standard.
