Overview
sentry-python is the official Python SDK for Sentry. It captures exceptions, messages, and performance traces and integrates with Django, Flask, FastAPI, Celery, HTTPX, OpenTelemetry, and many AI and application libraries.

Key features
Capture exceptions, messages, and traces through one SDK
sentry_sdk.init() configures the DSN and sampling behavior, enabling automatic unhandled-exception capture and explicit events such as capture_message(). Performance traces can be configured through the same SDK.
Sources: [2]
Best fit
Fits Python backends that want error monitoring and performance telemetry in Sentry
It is useful across web APIs, workers, serverless functions, and batch processes when exceptions and performance traces should be correlated with releases and environments in one monitoring platform.

Before adoption
Configure DSN, sampling, and data collection for production requirements
sentry-python 2.71.0 supports Python 3.6+ and requires a Sentry account and project. User data, HTTP bodies, trace sampling, and optional integration dependencies should be configured to match privacy, cost, and performance requirements.

Supplemental curator note
The SDK can add error monitoring to existing frameworks with little code, but production configuration should go beyond the DSN: define sampling, PII and HTTP-body collection, environment, and release tagging explicitly.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Install sentry-python 2.71.0
Pin the reviewed stable SDK release.
python -m pip install "sentry-sdk==2.71.0" - 2
Set the DSN for a test project
Replace the placeholder with the DSN from a Sentry project used for verification. Do not commit the real DSN.
export SENTRY_DSN='https://YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY@YOUR_HOST/YOUR_PROJECT_ID' - 3
Send one message event
Send one message to the test project and confirm the event in Sentry.
python - <<'PY' import os import sentry_sdk sentry_sdk.init(dsn=os.environ['SENTRY_DSN']) sentry_sdk.capture_message('OSS Tanbou sentry-python check') sentry_sdk.flush(timeout=5) PY
