It handles the export of distributed traces, metrics, and logs from your Python application to Uptrace's backend, eliminating the need to manually configure OpenTelemetry exporters. The package depends on four core OpenTelemetry libraries: opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk, opentelemetry-instrumentation, and opentelemetry-exporter-otlp.\n\nYou use it by installing the package, configuring it with your Uptrace DSN, and then instrumenting your application code or frameworks. The wrapper abstracts away OpenTelemetry configuration details, making it faster to get observability running. It includes guides for popular frameworks like Django, Flask, FastAPI, and SQLAlchemy, so you can instrument web applications and database calls with minimal setup.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Uptrace or planning to adopt it for observability. The package reduces boilerplate compared to configuring OpenTelemetry directly, and it has active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Install it as part of your observability stack setup, not as a standalone tool\u2014it requires an Uptrace account to be useful."},"id":"uptrace","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uptrace","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uptrace.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/uptrace/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-16","license_spdx":"BSD-3-Clause","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"uptrace","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry Python distribution for Uptrace"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":150483,"position":10963,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.41.0"}
