It wraps HTTP calls over requests and urllib3 to deliver event data to Honeycomb's ingestion endpoints, allowing developers to instrument applications with custom metrics and trace data.\n\nThe library is lightweight and has low install friction\u2014it ships as a pure Python wheel with only three runtime dependencies (requests, statsd, urllib3). It supports Python 3.7 through 3.11 and is maintained under the Apache License 2.0. While the package is dormant (no release since March 2024), the repository remains accessible and the code is stable for production use; for automatic instrumentation of frameworks like Django and Flask, Honeycomb recommends their separate Beeline for Python library.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Honeycomb for observability. The package is stable, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is permissively licensed. The 891-day release gap is notable but not disqualifying\u2014the library is mature and the repository remains maintained. For framework-specific automatic instrumentation, use Beeline for Python instead."},"id":"libhoney","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libhoney","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/libhoney.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/libhoney/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"libhoney","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python library for sending data to Honeycomb"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":420862,"position":6786,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
