otelme pronounced "Oh, tell me"

otelme - pronounced "Oh, tell me"

A low-friction OpenTelemetry wrapper for Python apps. It comes with sugar over basic spanning and the tell magic receiver.

Usage

Use context managers or decorators to automatically create scoped spans:

with telme.tell('update_user_record'):
    telme.tell('a') | 'b'
    ...

@telme.tell
def myfunc():
    ...

@telme.tell('different_name')
def myfunc():
    ...

Save the user friend count before adding to it and saving it to a variable

new_count = telme.tell('friends') @ len(user.friends) + 1

Save the result of count + 1 as the attribute 'newcount' on the current span

telme.tell('newcount') + count
new_count = telme.tell('newcount') + 1

Use a splat (*) operator to explode a dict into an event on the current trace

telme.tell('explosion') * {'bang': 'loud', 'flame': 'big'}

Inspired by pipe, q, and the rollup_field support in Honeycomb's beeline.
