Thanks to Joshua Frederick (github user jfred), we now have an actual Python implementation of the statsd server, so if you don't want to install node.js (though why wouldn't you? :-) ) you can run it all in python.

	SomeObject.prototype.do_thing = function () {
	var lib = require('somelib');
	// this == the object I assume
	libdo_thing().on('success', function(err, results){
	// what is the value of "this" here?
	});
	};
