# OpenFeature | Sentry for Python

The [OpenFeature](https://openfeature.dev/) integration tracks feature flag evaluations produced by the OpenFeature SDK. This SDK is supported by a broad range of feature flagging providers. For the full list, visit [OpenFeature's ecosystem page](https://openfeature.dev/ecosystem?instant_search%5BrefinementList%5D%5Btype%5D%5B0%5D=Provider\&instant_search%5BrefinementList%5D%5BallTechnologies%5D%5B0%5D=Python).

The flag evaluations are held in memory and are sent to Sentry on error and transaction events. **At the moment, we only support boolean flag evaluations.**

## [Install](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/openfeature.md#install)

Install `sentry-sdk` from PyPI:

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

## [Configure](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/openfeature.md#configure)

Add `OpenFeatureIntegration()` to your `integrations` list:

```python
import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.openfeature import OpenFeatureIntegration

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="___PUBLIC_DSN___",
    # Add data like request headers and IP for users, if applicable;
    # see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/data-management/data-collected/ for more info
    send_default_pii=True,
    integrations=[
        OpenFeatureIntegration(),
    ],
)
```

## [Verify](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/openfeature.md#verify)

The integration is tested by evaluating a feature flag using your OpenFeature SDK before capturing an exception.

```python
from openfeature import api
import sentry_sdk

api.set_provider(MyProviderOfChoice(...))
client = api.get_client()
client.get_boolean_value("hello", default_value=False)

sentry_sdk.capture_exception(Exception("Something went wrong!"))
```

Visit the Sentry website and confirm that your error event has recorded the feature flag "hello" and its value "false".

## [Supported Versions](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/openfeature.md#supported-versions)

* openfeature-sdk >= 0.7.1
* sentry-sdk >= 2.19.2
* python >= 3.8

##### Next Steps

* **Track feature flag evaluations in other parts of your codebase.** If needed, you can set up evaluation tracking for more than one SDK. [Read the docs](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/feature-flags.md#enable-evaluation-tracking) to learn more.
* **Set up your change tracking webhook.** In order to take full advantage of the feature flag capabilities Sentry offers there is an additional setup step needed. Your feature flag provider needs to notify Sentry when a feature flag definition has changed. A Sentry webhook URL can be registered with your provider. Learn [how](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/feature-flags.md#enable-change-tracking).
