X-Ray SDK for Python

• Note The X-Ray SDK for Python is an open source project. You can follow the project and submit issues and pull requests on GitHub: github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-python

• Note On Lambda, the X-Ray SDK is optional. If you don't use it in your function, your service map will still include a node for the Lambda service, and one for each Lambda function. By adding the SDK, you can instrument your function code to add subsegments to the function segment recorded by Lambda. See AWS Lambda and AWS X-Ray for more information.
