To install the Python Beeline for your application:

1. Make sure your version of setuptools is up to date:

   pip install -U setuptools
   

2. Install the Beeline package:

   pip install honeycomb-beeline
   

3. Initialize the Beeline by including the following at the entry point to your application:

   import beeline
   beeline.init(
       writekey='YOUR_API_KEY',
       # The name of your app/service is a good choice
       service_name='my-python-app',
       # debug=True, # defaults to False. if True, data doesn't get sent to Honeycomb
   )
   

With debug set to True you’ll see events being generated in your terminal output, but they won’t be sent to Honeycomb. Set debug=False to start sending events to Honeycomb.
