If you don't have Python3 installed, please install it and then follow below steps.

Open tracing.py file from that repository. and make changes to the highlighted lines below

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import SERVICE_NAME, Resource
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.http.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter


# Service name is required for most backends
resource = Resource(attributes={
    SERVICE_NAME: "python-service"
})

# create a tracer provider
tracer_provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource)

# create an OTLP trace exporter
url = 'HTTP_Endpoint'
headers = {"Authorization": "Authorization"}

exporter = OTLPSpanExporter(endpoint=url, headers=headers)

# create a span processor to send spans to the exporter
span_processor = BatchSpanProcessor(exporter)

# add the span processor to the tracer provider
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(span_processor)

# set the tracer provider as the global provider
trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)
