tackbox-report (Python)

Runtime error-capture helper for Python: a thin wrapper over sentry-sdk that mirrors the Go go/report and JS js/report.js helpers and the tackbox error-reporting contract. An empty DSN makes every call a log-only no-op, so a repo can adopt the API before any Glitchtip/Sentry endpoint exists.

This is one runtime arm of tackbox. The static half - the linter that forces you to call these helpers - ships separately as the tackbox distribution; installing this helper does not pull the linter, and vice versa.

Install

pip install tackbox-report

Distribution tackbox-report, import package tackbox_report. Requires Python 3.11+ and sentry-sdk 2.x.

Use

import tackbox_report as report

report.init(report.dsn_from_env())           # empty DSN -> log-only no-op

report.report_error("db write failed", cause=exc, dedup_key="vault.save")
report.report_warn("cache miss", cause=exc, dedup_key="cache.read")
report.report_panic("ipc-loop", recovered)   # fatal, fingerprint panic:<name>
report.crumb("ipc", "frame decoded")

# Background work under capture (GoSafe analog):
report.run_task("importer", lambda: do_import())         # threads
report.run_task_async("importer", do_import_async())     # asyncio

Semantics

  • Empty DSN = log-only no-op. Safe to call before init; capture stays disabled and every call still logs locally.
  • Log-before-drop. Every capture writes one structured local line before the readiness and rate-limit checks, so nothing is lost in log-only mode.
  • 60s in-memory rate limit keyed by dedup_key; the same key is the Sentry fingerprint (grouping). An empty key opts out of rate limiting.
  • Per-name fingerprints. panic:<name> for report_panic, task:<name> for run_task / run_task_async.
  • Concurrency-isolated capture. Every capture site forks new_scope(); the background-task wrappers additionally fork isolation_scope() per thread and per asyncio task, so concurrent captures cannot bleed scope or fingerprint.

See DESIGN.md for the design forks and the sentry-sdk version behavior relied on.
