When installed and initialized, it automatically wraps database connections to emit span data for each SQL query executed, including timing, query text, and connection details. This allows you to see database activity in your distributed tracing system without modifying application code that uses mysqlclient.\n\nThe instrumentation builds on OpenTelemetry's dbapi instrumentation layer, which provides a standardized approach to database tracing. It requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, and opentelemetry-instrumentation-dbapi. The package is in beta status (0.65b0) but actively maintained, with recent releases and no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenTelemetry in your application and need visibility into mysqlclient database calls. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward addition to an observability stack. Not necessary if you don't use OpenTelemetry or don't need database-level tracing."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry mysqlclient instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3656719,"position":2538,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
