# Official Sentry SDK for Python

Welcome to the official Python SDK for **[Sentry](http://sentry.io/)**.


## 📦 Getting Started

### Prerequisites

You need a Sentry [account](https://sentry.io/signup/) and [project](https://docs.sentry.io/product/projects/).

### Installation

Getting Sentry into your project is straightforward. Just run this command in your terminal:

```bash
pip install --upgrade sentry-sdk
```

### Basic Configuration

Here's a quick configuration example to get Sentry up and running:

```python
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    "https://12927b5f211046b575ee51fd8b1ac34f@o1.ingest.sentry.io/1",  # Your DSN here

    # Set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 to capture 100%
    # of traces for performance monitoring.
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
)
```

With this configuration, Sentry will monitor for exceptions and performance issues.

### Quick Usage Example

To generate some events that will show up in Sentry, you can log messages or capture errors:

```python
import sentry_sdk
sentry_sdk.init(...)  # same as above

sentry_sdk.capture_message("Hello Sentry!")  # You'll see this in your Sentry dashboard.

raise ValueError("Oops, something went wrong!")  # This will create an error event in Sentry.
```


## 📚 Documentation

For more details on advanced usage, integrations, and customization, check out the full documentation on [https://docs.sentry.io](https://docs.sentry.io/).


## 🧩 Integrations

Sentry integrates with a ton of popular Python libraries and frameworks, including [FastAPI](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/fastapi/), [Django](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/django/), [Celery](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/celery/), [OpenAI](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/openai/) and many, many more.  Check out the [full list of integrations](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/) to get the full picture.


## 🚧 Migrating Between Versions?

### From `1.x` to `2.x`

If you're using the older `1.x` version of the SDK, now's the time to upgrade to `2.x`. It includes significant upgrades and new features. Check our [migration guide](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/migration/1.x-to-2.x) for assistance.

### From `raven-python`

Using the legacy `raven-python` client? It's now in maintenance mode, and we recommend migrating to the new SDK for an improved experience. Get all the details in our [migration guide](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/migration/raven-to-sentry-sdk/).

| `2.60.0` | 2026-05-13 | High | Adds a new `stream_gen_ai_spans` option that controls how `gen_ai` spans are sent to Sentry.

Enable this option if `gen_ai` spans are being dropped because the transaction payload exceeds size limits.  ```python import sentry_sdk  sentry_sdk.init(   dsn='https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0',   stream_gen_ai_spans=True, ) ```  ### New Features ✨  - (asyncpg) Add cursor span support |
