It works by wrapping WSGI servers and application code to capture request traces, database queries, external API calls, and errors in real time. The agent runs as a background process with no runtime dependencies, collecting metrics on response times, throughput, and error rates.\n\nIntegration happens via either a wrapper script (prefixing your WSGI server startup with `newrelic-admin run-program`) or manual code initialization at the top of your WSGI application file. After configuration with your license key and environment variables, the agent automatically begins sending data to New Relic's UI where you can view dashboards, drill into slow transactions, and set up alerts. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and both CPython and PyPy implementations.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run a Python WSGI application in production and need real-time performance visibility. The agent is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, and integrates cleanly with standard deployment patterns. Requires a New Relic account and license key; the medium install friction is offset by comprehensive platform integration and production-grade stability."},"id":"newrelic","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/newrelic","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/newrelic.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/newrelic/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"newrelic","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"New Relic Python Agent"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4840389,"position":2217,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"13.4.0"}
