Python client for Basepair

Python bindings for Basepair's API and command line interface (CLI).

Sentry & custom metrics (optional)

Install with Sentry support:

pip install basepair[sentry]

The library provides shared Sentry init and entity metric constants so consumer apps (Pinda, webapp, ivfapp, kmap) do not duplicate scrubbing, sampling, or metric naming.

Important: basepair-python does not read environment variables for Sentry or metrics. Each app loads its own config and passes explicit parameters.

Sentry init

from basepair.sentry import init_sentry

init_sentry(
    dsn=os.environ.get("SENTRY_DSN"),
    environment=os.environ["MODE"],
    release=os.environ["VERSION"],
    service="pinda-backend",
    traces_sample_rate=float(os.environ["SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE"]),
    profile_sample_rate=float(os.environ["SENTRY_PROFILE_SAMPLE_RATE"]),
    project_name=os.environ.get("PROJECT_NAME"),
    customer_app=os.environ.get("CUSTOMER_APP"),
    debug=os.environ.get("SENTRY_DEBUG") == "true",
    low_value_transactions=("/api/health", "/api/health/"),
)

Empty dsn → no-op (safe for local dev).
Required when dsn is set: environment, release, service, traces_sample_rate, profile_sample_rate.
Optional: project_name, customer_app, debug, low_value_transactions, server_name, enable_logs, enable_metrics.
enable_logs / enable_metrics are passed through to sentry_sdk.init only when set. Omit them for SDK defaults (Sentry Logs off; custom metrics on).

Django apps can use request context helpers:

from basepair.sentry.django import SentryContextMiddleware, set_request_sentry_context

Entity metrics

Shared metric names and tags live in basepair.metrics:

from basepair.metrics import (
    METRIC_ANALYSIS_BULK_START,
    METRIC_ANALYSIS_TERMINAL,
    Source,
    Tag,
    Outcome,
    emit,
)

Analysis.bulk_start and Analysis.reanalyze emit create-side metrics when Sentry is initialized in the calling process (requires sentry-sdk>=2.44.0 for the metrics API). Pass metric_source in the webapp API client config:

Analysis({**settings.WEBAPP["api"], "metric_source": Source.PINDA})

Webapp should emit completion metrics using the same constants (e.g. METRIC_ANALYSIS_TERMINAL) when an analysis reaches a terminal state.

How to build and push to pypi:

Automated publishing of distribution

In the testing stage of the changes, it is advisable to use Test PyPI. We already have github actions to publish on both Test PyPI and PyPI.

Manual way from local

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel # This will create two files in a newly created dist directory, a source archive and a wheel:
twine upload dist/* # To upload it to Pypi
Uploading distributions to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Enter your username:
Enter your password:

Note: username must be __token__ (not your pypi username) password is the token. You may generate the token -> token creation page.

That is it!
