NSCA is the remote passive acceptance daemon used with many Nagios installs. It
ships with a (C-language) executable called send_nsca for submitting checks.
This is a mostly-clean re-implementation of send_nsca in pure-python. It
supports 10 of the 26 crypto functions used by upstream NSCA, sending to
multiple hosts with one invocation, and timeouts.
Python3 compatible version of send_nsca, packaged for pypi installation. Just a personal convenience thing, as as none of libraries for sending nsca checks support python3, and the projects don't seem active.

The unit/integration tests for this package are located in the tests/
directory. Unit tests only require the unittest package (or python 2.7+)
and the mock library; integration tests also require the nsca binary. To
run them, simply make sure that your $PYTHONPATH is set up correctly and
run nosetests -v tests.
This software uses setuptools/distutils; you can install it with sudo python setup.py install,
and it's easy to write packaging for your favorite OS.
