appoptics version 2.0.6 is the last release under this package name and will no longer be maintained.

Installing

The Python instrumentation for AppOptics uses a module named appoptics, which is distributed via pypi.

.. code:: sh

pip install appoptics

Alternately, you can use this repository to build a local copy.

Configuring

See our documentation on configuring AppOptics for python <https://docs.appoptics.com/kb/apm_tracing/python/configure/>__.

Upgrading

To upgrade an existing installation, you simply need to run:

.. code:: sh

pip install appoptics --upgrade

To upgrade to the new appoptics_apm package please refer to our documentation on upgrading from appoptics 2.x <https://docs.appoptics.com/kb/apm_tracing/python/upgrade/#upgrading-from-appoptics-agent-2-x>__

.. code:: sh

pip install appoptics_apm
pip uninstall appoptics

Running the Tests

Test dependencies

The test suite depends on the presence of several database and cache
servers; consequently, the easiest way to get up and running is to use
the included Dockerfile and ``run_docker_dev.sh``.

To build the development container image:

::

    docker build -f Dockerfile -t ptdev:py27 .

Then run an interactive shell to run test suite:

::

    ./run_docker_dev.sh

To run tests, in the container's shell, against the current version of
Python:

.. code:: sh

    ./run_tests.sh

To run tests, in the container's shell, against the various versions of
Python:

.. code:: sh

    docker-compose build  && docker-compose up

Test directory layout

Tests in test/unit are actually functional tests; naming is for historic reasons. Tests in test/manual are for manual verification of certain behaviors.

Contributing

You are obviously a person of great sense and intelligence. We happily appreciate all contributions to the appoptics module whether it is documentation, a bug fix, new instrumentation for a library or framework or anything else we haven't thought of.

We welcome you to send us PRs. We also humbly request that any new instrumentation submissions have corresponding tests that accompany them. This way we don't break any of your additions when we (and others) make changes after the fact.

Developer Resources
