Python agent v7.2.0.167

Notes

This release of the Python agent adds supported builds for Python 3.10 and fixes bugs.

Install the agent using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or download it directly from the New Relic download site.

New Features

• Add Python 3.10 wheels

  Wheels for Python 3.10 are now available and supported.

Changes

• Upgrade internal urllib3 to v1.26.7

  The internal copy of urllib3 has been upgraded to v1.26.7 to address Python 3.10 issues and deprecation warnings.

Bug Fixes

• Ensure errors are ignored by server-side config

  Previously it was possible on transaction exit to have an error fail to be ignored when the settings were supplied via server-side config. This has been fixed.

• Deprecation warnings for imp module removed

  The imp module has been deprecated for some time, and has been issuing warnings. This module has been replaced with importlib when available.

  Older versions of Python may still require the use of imp, but no deprecation warnings should be emitted.
