instana 1.38.2

Instana
The instana Python package collects key metrics and distributed traces for Instana.
This package supports Python 2.7 or greater.
Any and all feedback is welcome. Happy Python visibility.

Installation
None
Instana remotely instruments your Python web servers automatically via Instana AutoTrace™️. To configure which Python processes this applies to, see the Configuration page.
Manual Installation
If you wish to manually instrument your applications you can install the package with the following into the virtualenv, pipenv or container (hosted on pypi):
pip install instana

or to alternatively update an existing installation:
pip install -U instana

Activating Without Code Changes
The Instana package can then be activated without any code changes required by setting the following environment variable for your Python application:
export AUTOWRAPT_BOOTSTRAP=instana

This will cause the Instana Python package to automatically instrument your Python application. Once it finds the Instana host agent, it will begin to report Python metrics and distributed traces.
Activating via Import
Alternatively, if you prefer the really manual method, simply import the instana package inside of your Python application:
import instana

Documentation
You can find more documentation covering supported components and minimum versions in the Instana documentation portal.
