It allows Python applications to export distributed trace spans to Jaeger, a popular open-source tracing backend. The package is essentially a meta-installer that pulls in both serialization variants, letting developers choose which one to use after installation.\n\nHowever, the package carries a significant caveat: Jaeger has supported the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) natively since v1.35, and the description explicitly warns that support for this exporter ended July 2023 and the package is no longer being tested. For new projects, the OTLP exporter is the recommended path forward.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. The package is deprecated in favor of the OTLP exporter, which Jaeger has supported natively since v1.35.
