honeyhive.tracer.core.base

Base tracer implementation with initialization and core infrastructure.

This module provides the foundational HoneyHive tracer class with dynamic initialization, configuration management, and utility classes. It uses dynamic logic for flexible configuration handling and graceful degradation.

NoOpSpan

No-op span implementation for graceful degradation.

This class provides a safe default span that implements the same interface as a real span but performs no operations. This follows OpenTelemetry best practices for error handling - never return None, always return a usable object.

HoneyHiveTracerBase

Base HoneyHive tracer with dynamic initialization and configuration.

This base class provides the core infrastructure for HoneyHive tracing including dynamic configuration handling, initialization logic, and foundational properties. It uses dynamic patterns for flexible setup.

Note: too-many-instance-attributes disabled - Base tracer class requires extensive attributes for configuration management, state tracking, API clients, threading locks, and backward compatibility support.
