OpenTelemetry-Python supports Python 3.8 and higher.
The API and SDK packages are available on PyPI, and can be installed via pip:
pip install opentelemetry-api
pip install opentelemetry-sdkIn 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 libraries 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 repository instrumentation and exporter directories.
To find related projects like exporters, instrumentation libraries, tracer implementations, etc., visit the Registry.
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 repository. 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 -e ./opentelemetry-sdk -e ./opentelemetry-semantic-conventions- Main repository: opentelemetry-python
- Contrib repository: opentelemetry-python-contrib
