OpenTelemetry Python API

The OpenTelemetry Python API provides the core interfaces and no-op implementations for instrumenting applications with traces, metrics, and logs. It defines the abstract classes and data types that library authors and application developers use to collect telemetry data. The API is designed to be lightweight with minimal dependencies so that instrumentation libraries can depend on it without pulling in the full SDK.

For the concrete implementation of these interfaces, see the OpenTelemetry Python SDK.
