# EDOT Python Migration

Read the migration guide before making changes:

- [Migration guide](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/python/migration)
- [EDOT Python setup](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/python/setup)
- [EDOT Python configuration](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/opentelemetry/edot-sdks/python/configuration)

## Guidelines

1. Remove ALL classic APM references: `elastic-apm` from requirements, `ElasticAPM(app)` / `elasticapm.contrib.*` from
   application code, `app.config['ELASTIC_APM']` blocks, and all `ELASTIC_APM_*` env vars
1. Install `elastic-opentelemetry` via pip (add to `requirements.txt` or equivalent)
1. Run `edot-bootstrap --action=install` during image build to install auto-instrumentation packages for detected
   libraries
