2. Logging to Amplitude with amplitude-python

Recommend having a look at Amplitude HTTP API Documentation before start logging.

import amplitude	

# initialize amplitude logger
amplitude_logger = amplitude.AmplitudeLogger(api_key = "SOME_API_KEY_STRING")

# example event
event_args = {"device_id":"somedeviceid", "event_type":"justtesting", 
              "event_properties":{"property1":"somevalue", "propertyN":"anothervalue"}
event = amplitude_logger.create_event(**event_args)

# send event to amplitude
amplitude_logger.log_event(event)

3. Test amplitude-python module
