[Process Request] Request PyPi and testPyPi tokens for releasing sqlcommenter-python library

[sjs994]

SQLCommenter is a library donated by Google to OpenTelemetry. We are in a process to of migrating the source code from google-cloud-sqlcommenter to opentelemetry-sqlcommenter.

SQLCommenter contains middleware/plugins that adds the capability of instrumenting SQL queries with code that executes the queries i.e. information like action, controller, dbdriver, etc and opentelemetry-trace(if present). More Details here

One of the supported language is Python, which includes django, flask frameworks and ORMs like sqlalchemy and psycopg2 (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-sqlcommenter/tree/main/python/sqlcommenter-python).

For the process of migration, we have moved in the code, documentation and renamed the packages to point to opentelemetry instead of google-cloud. Now our next task is to publish the packages into PyPi and TestPyPi. From the Python SIG meeting, my understanding is we would need tokens (restricted to only sqlcommenter project) to release these libraries. Can someone help us with this process ?

@sjs994
Apologies for not being there during when this was brought up in the SIG. Is this simply going to be another instrumentation for OpenTelemetry?

[sjs994]

@lzchen the end goal is to integrate these instrumentation with OpenTelemetry, which is supposed to be the next discussion (The library is going to deal with database instrumentation and tracing and might require some discussion on the specs).

For now, the code lives in 2 places in github, within google and opentelemetry and it's difficult to maintain and support. We want to start publishing the packages from open-telemetry based repository and maybe deprecate the google-sqlcommenter repository.

When we have a published version from open-telemetry, we can start discussion on how to integrate/merge the libraries into contrib repositories of respective languages.

Was this resolved or do you still need help @sjs994 ?

[sjs994]

Thanks @owais. We will close this ticket.
We are going ahead to try some POCs to integrate the changes into opentelemetry-python-contrib repository instead of publishing from the independent repository.

@sjs994 I believed that getting this https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-sqlcommenter/tree/main/docs/specifications approved from TC review and moved to spec was necessary before adding the components to contrib repos. Is that still the plan?

[sjs994]

@lonewolf3739 from discussion with opentelemetry-java maintainers, it seem we can put sqlcommenter behind an experimental flag.

If that is possible with opentelemetry-python-contrib repository, we can start the effort in parallel instead of waiting for the specs to be fully approved.

Thanks, it's great to see you decided to choose this route. We can certainly enable this as an experimental feature.
