Asserterror when using in flask app, gevent, magic libraries

[ddorian]

Description

The error below happens only when using the combination of gevent, logfire, and importing magic.

Full code:

import gevent.monkey

gevent.monkey.patch_all()

import logfire

logfire.configure(token="-----------------------------------")
# todo doing this import shows the error
import magic  
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
    return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

I can't reproduce it.

I've also added the FlaskInstrumentor.instrument(app) to actually test that the traces are being sent:

import gevent.monkey

gevent.monkey.patch_all()

import logfire

logfire.configure()
# todo doing this import shows the error
import magic
from flask import Flask
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.flask import FlaskInstrumentor

app = Flask(__name__)
FlaskInstrumentor().instrument_app(app)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return '<p>Hello, World!</p>'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

This is the actual packages installed retrieved from pip freeze (I've installed the packages mentioned in the description):

Am I doing something wrong?

[ddorian]

I created a new project with fresh installs just to be sure. What if you try this exact poetry project ? poetry_project.zip

And then do python main.py:

❯ python main.py

I still can't reproduce it.

Are you sure you are running the virtual environment created by poetry? I had to create the logfire_test/ directory, and the __init__.py file on your example, and I actually run the app with poetry run python main.py.

[ddorian]

Are you sure you are running the virtual environment created by poetry?

Yes, the IDE uses it for me.

I had to create the logfire_test/ directory,

Agree

and the init.py file on your example,

Not needed.

and I actually run the app with poetry run python main.py.

Yes. This is the full project without .idea & .logfire dirs logfire_test.zip

@Kludex maybe you need the os to be the same? (ubuntu 22.04)

I replicated in a github codespace https://github.com/ddorian/jubilant-space-potato

[davidhewitt]

I could reproduce in your codespace. It seems to be a combination of gevent + opentelemetry + magic that's the root cause. I get the same error from the following minimal repro:

import gevent.monkey

gevent.monkey.patch_all()

from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor, SpanExporter

processor = BatchSpanProcessor(SpanExporter(), schedule_delay_millis=500)

# todo doing this import shows the error
import magic

I can also reproduce locally with the same example (Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.12.3)

I'm also facing the same issue with Fastapi. Any quick fix?

It shouldn't affect FastAPI... 🤔

[Kludex]

Since this issue is on OTel side, I'll be closing it here.
