title: Sending statsD metrics with tags from python client
body: <p>I'm trying to send metrics to graphite from my python app through statsD,
  I'm using <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/statsd" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this client</a> (which I understand is most common).</p>
  
  <p>But I can't figure out how to send metrics with tags.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this syntax (from <a href="https://www.influxdata.com/blog/getting-started-with-sending-statsd-metrics-to-telegraf-influxdb/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>):</p>
  
  <pre><code>c.incr('foo.bar,tag1=val')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And also this (got the idea from <a href="http://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tags.html#carbon" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>):</p>
  
  <pre><code>c.incr('foo.bar;tag1=val')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But nothing seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Did anyone succeeded sending statsd metrics from python with tags?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
