Version support

OpenTelemetry-Python supports Python 3.6 and higher.

Installation

The API and SDK packages are available on PyPI, and can be installed via pip:

pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdk

In addition, there are several extension packages which can be installed separately as:

pip install opentelemetry-exporter-{exporter}
pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-{instrumentation}

These are for exporter and instrumentation packages respectively. The Jaeger, Zipkin, Prometheus, OTLP and OpenCensus Exporters can be found in the exporter directory of the repository. Instrumentations and additional exporters can be found in the contrib repo instrumentation and exporter directories.

Extensions

To find related projects like exporters, instrumentation libraries, tracer implementations, etc., visit the Registry.

Installing Cutting-edge Packages

There is some functionality that has not yet been released to PyPI. In that situation, you may want to install the packages directly from the repo. This can be done by cloning the repository and doing an editable install:

git clone https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python.git
cd opentelemetry-python
pip install -e ./opentelemetry-api
pip install -e ./opentelemetry-sdk
