Sentry Python Setup

Install and configure Sentry in Python projects.

Invoke This Skill When

User asks to "add Sentry to Python" or "install Sentry" in a Python app
User wants error monitoring, logging, or tracing in Python
User mentions "sentry-sdk" or Python frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI)

Install

pip install sentry-sdk

Configure

Initialize as early as possible in your application:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR_SENTRY_DSN",
    send_default_pii=True,
    
    # Tracing
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    
    # Profiling
    profile_session_sample_rate=1.0,
    profile_lifecycle="trace",
    
    # Logs
    enable_logs=True,
)

Async Applications

For async apps, initialize inside an async function:

import asyncio
import sentry_sdk

async def main():
    sentry_sdk.init(
        dsn="YOUR_SENTRY_DSN",
        send_default_pii=True,
        traces_sample_rate=1.0,
        enable_logs=True,
    )
    # ... rest of app

asyncio.run(main())

Framework Integrations

Django

# settings.py
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR_SENTRY_DSN",
    send_default_pii=True,
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    enable_logs=True,
)

Flask

from flask import Flask
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR_SENTRY_DSN",
    send_default_pii=True,
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    enable_logs=True,
)

app = Flask(__name__)

FastAPI

from fastapi import FastAPI
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR_SENTRY_DSN",
    send_default_pii=True,
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    enable_logs=True,
)

app = FastAPI()

Configuration Options

Option	Description	Default
`dsn`	Sentry DSN	Required
`send_default_pii`	Include user data	`False`
`traces_sample_rate`	% of transactions traced	`0`
`profile_session_sample_rate`	% of sessions profiled	`0`
`enable_logs`	Send logs to Sentry	`False`
`environment`	Environment name	Auto-detected
`release`	Release version	Auto-detected

Environment Variables

SENTRY_DSN=https://xxx@o123.ingest.sentry.io/456
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=sntrys_xxx
SENTRY_ORG=my-org
SENTRY_PROJECT=my-project

Or use in code:

import os
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn=os.environ.get("SENTRY_DSN"),
    # ...
)

Verification

# Intentional error to test
division_by_zero = 1 / 0

Or capture manually:

sentry_sdk.capture_message("Test message from Python")

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Errors not appearing	Ensure `init()` is called early, check DSN
No traces	Set `traces_sample_rate` > 0
IPython errors not captured	Run from file, not interactive shell
Async errors missing	Initialize inside async function
