Conflict with 'statsd' install dir

[kaidokert]

pip install statsd python-statsd
results in a mess in site-packages. Unlikely to be a real issue, only noticed because i was trying to figure out the differences between these and pystatsd, statsd-client

Perhaps I should add some detection to see if the conflicting version is installed. It's a bit unfortunate that @jsocol and I chose the same name when starting the packages but nearly impossible to change that now since many projects depend on either of the packages.

One option could be to create a compatibility layer so they function with the same API. Although I would argue that my API is currently more Pythonic. To illustrate:

>>> import statsd
>>> counter = statsd.Counter('foo')
>>> counter += 10

Versus:

>>> import statsd
>>> client = statsd.StatsClient()
>>> client.incr('foo', 10)

The examples for timers show similar differences.

Honestly, it never occurred to me that someone would install both in the same virtualenv.

Yeah i didn't plan on installing them side by side either, so its a very minor thing. Like i said, i only noticed because i was looking at various statsd client options available.

So far in the years I've maintained this package you're the 2nd to report this so you're definitely not alone :)

Perhaps I'll add some API compatibility and/or checks, should be good
