> Well actually. They (python SDK maintainers) argue their implementation is the correct one according to the spec. See this issue thread for example.
The comment section of that issue gives out contrarian vibes. Apparently the problem is that the Python SDK maintainers refuse to support a use case that virtually all other SDKs support. There are some weasel words that try to convey the idea that half the SDKs are with Python while in reality the ones that support the choices followed by the Python SDK actually support all scenarios.
From the looks of it, the Python SDK maintainers are purposely making a mountain out of a molehill that could be levelled with a single commit with a single line of code.
As a user it feels very weird to wade into threads like this to find a solution to your problem.
The power of Otel is it being an open standard. But the practice shows the implementation of that standard / spec leads to all kinds of issues and fiefdoms
