Before you begin using GL Observability on your python project, ensure you have the following handy.
1
Python 3.11 - 3.13
Make sure you have Python version 3.11 or later installed. We recommend installing version 3.12 at the time of writing. Use this to verify you have the right version.
python--version# Python 3.12.3
2
UV Package Manager
While PIP works as a global installer, it's harder to manage the versions, lock versions, etc. We recommend using UV as the package manager. All the guides will utilize UV.
uv--version# uv 0.7.6
3
Access to Observability Backend
Observability backend is a server or service that receives, stores, and analyzes telemetry data, e.g. Sentry, Jaeger, Signoz, etc.
