# Technologies supported by EDOT Python
EDOT Python is a [distribution](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/concepts/distributions/) of OpenTelemetry Python. It inherits all the [supported](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/opentelemetry/compatibility/nomenclature) technologies of the OpenTelemetry Python.
<note>
  **Understanding auto-instrumentation scope**Auto-instrumentation automatically captures telemetry for the frameworks and libraries listed on this page. However, it cannot instrument:
  - Custom or proprietary frameworks and libraries
  - Closed-source components without instrumentation support
  - Application-specific business logic
  If your application uses technologies not covered by auto-instrumentation, you have two options:
  1. **Native OpenTelemetry support** — Some frameworks and libraries include built-in OpenTelemetry instrumentation provided by the vendor.
  2. **Manual instrumentation** — Use the [OpenTelemetry API](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/python/instrumentation/) to add custom spans, metrics, and logs for unsupported components.
</note>


## EDOT Collector and Elastic Stack versions

EDOT Python sends data through the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP). While OTLP ingest works with later 8.16+ versions of the EDOT Collector, for full support use either [EDOT Collector](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/edot-collector) versions 9.x or Elastic Cloud Serverless for OTLP ingest.
<note>
  Ingesting data from EDOT SDKs through EDOT Collector 9.x into Elastic Stack versions 8.18+ is supported.
</note>

Refer to [EDOT SDKs compatibility](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/opentelemetry/compatibility/sdks) for support details.

## Python versions

The following Python versions are supported:
- 3.9
- 3.10
- 3.11
- 3.12
- 3.13

This follows the [OpenTelemetry Python Version Support](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/?tab=readme-ov-file#python-version-support).

## Instrumentations

Instrumentations are not installed by default. Use the [edot-bootstrap](https://www.elastic.co/elastic/docs-builder/docs/2422/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/python/setup) command to automatically install the available instrumentations.

The semantic conventions status tracks the stabilization of the semantic conventions used in the instrumentation:
- Stable means they are stable and are not expected to change.
- Development means they are not stable yet and they may change in the future.
- Migration means there may be configuration knobs to switch between different semantic conventions.

Some libraries like the Python Elasticsearch Client natively supports OpenTelemetry instrumentation.
The [elasticsearch](https://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) package has native OpenTelemetry support since version 8.13.

### LLM instrumentations

You can instrument the following LLM (Large Language Model) libraries with instrumentations implementing the [OpenTelemetry GenAI Semantic Conventions](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/gen-ai/):
