AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides generated semantic convention constants and enums for OpenTelemetry instrumentation, enabling standardized attribute naming across observability signals.

Low friction install with only two runtime dependencies (opentelemetry-api and typing-extensions). Active maintenance with a recent release 28 days ago and ongoing repository activity.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows use in commercial and proprietary projects with minimal restrictions.

Usage

pip install opentelemetry-semantic-conventions

from opentelemetry.semconv import trace
# Use trace.SpanAttributes constants for standardized span attribute names

Requires Python 3.10 or later; package is currently at version 0.65b0 (beta).

Verdict: A well-maintained, actively developed library in the top 100 PyPI packages with no known vulnerabilities. The beta version status and permissive Apache-2.0 license make it suitable for production use in OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Low install friction and current Python 3.10+ support align with modern standards.

Needs verification

Whether the 0.65b0 beta designation indicates planned breaking changes or stability concerns before a 1.0 release.
The scope and completeness of semantic conventions covered relative to the full OpenTelemetry specification.
