Project is being Sunset

[MikeGoldsmith]

This project has outlived its useful lifespan, and we intend to deprecate it in the future. Honeycomb recommends using the official OpenTelemetry Python SDK, and using individual contrib components as required. The official OpenTelemetry Go SDK is stable and has grown to offer most of the ergonomic benefits that this distribution has historically offered.

If you are actively using this distribution and feel the official OpenTelemetry SDK does not meet your needs, please file an issue here with your use case.

The following links may be useful:

• Honeycomb OSS lifecycle and practices.
• Configuring the OpenTelemetry SDK for Python with Honeycomb.

No objections, issues, or non-dependabot PRs have been submitted since this sunsetting issue was posted. If we receive no further objections, we will archive the repo on August 12, 2025.
