Logs	Experimental	N/A

Project versioning information and stability guarantees can be found here.

Getting started

You can find the getting started guide for OpenTelemetry Python here.

If you are looking for examples on how to use the OpenTelemetry API to instrument your code manually, or how to set up the OpenTelemetry Python SDK, see https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/python/manual/.

Python Version Support

This project ensures compatibility with the current supported versions of the Python. As new Python versions are released, support for them is added and as old Python versions reach their end of life, support for them is removed.

We add support for new Python versions no later than 3 months after they become stable.

We remove support for old Python versions 6 months after they reach their end of life.

Documentation

The online documentation is available at https://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/. To access the latest version of the documentation, seehttps://opentelemetry-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Install

This repository includes multiple installable packages. The opentelemetry-apipackage includes abstract classes and no-op implementations that comprise the OpenTelemetry API following theOpenTelemetry specification. The opentelemetry-sdk package is the reference implementation of the API.

Libraries that produce telemetry data should only depend on opentelemetry-api, and defer the choice of the SDK to the application developer. Applications may depend on opentelemetry-sdk or another package that implements the API.

The API and SDK packages are available on the Python Package Index (PyPI). You can install them via pip with the following commands:

pip install opentelemetry-api pip install opentelemetry-sdk

Theexporter/directory includes OpenTelemetry exporter packages. You can install the packages separately with the following command:

pip install opentelemetry-exporter-{exporter}

Thepropagator/directory includes OpenTelemetry propagator packages. You can install the packages separately with the following command:

pip install opentelemetry-propagator-{propagator}

To install the development versions of these packages instead, clone or fork this repository and perform an editable install:

pip install -e ./opentelemetry-api -e ./opentelemetry-sdk -e ./opentelemetry-semantic-conventions

For additional exporter and instrumentation packages, see theopentelemetry-python-contrib repository.
