Utilities and wrappers for using AWS X-Ray with Python

WSGI Apps

Simply add the middleware to your app. For example, if you use Flask:

from xrayvision.ext.wsgi import XRayMiddleware

app = Flask(__name__)
app.wsgi_app = XRayMiddleware(app.wsgi_app)

You can add subsegments with the global_segment:

from xrayvision import global_segment

...

with global_segment.add_subsegment('my custom loop') as segment:
    try:
        # do stuff
    except:
        segment.add_exception()

Requests

Requests must be patched as early as possible in your code.

import requests
import xrayvision

xrayvision.patch('requests')
