Motivation

Python ddtrace 4.14.0 adds Datadog-managed CDN delivery as the default Feature Flags configuration source. This removes the Datadog Agent dependency for flag configuration and aligns Python with the existing Node.js and Java agentless documentation.

Customers need the new default, minimum version, migration behavior, and telemetry limitations documented before adopting it.

Related implementation: DataDog/dd-trace-py#19331

Changes

  • Add Python ddtrace 4.14.0 to the supported agentless delivery tables.
  • Update the Server SDK overview and serverless guidance to include Python.
  • Revise the Python setup page for default agentless delivery, required credentials, and provider initialization.
  • Document source selection, polling and timeout controls, the stable kill switch, and legacy-setting migration.
  • Add troubleshooting steps for both agentless delivery and Agent Remote Configuration.

Decisions

  • Treat 4.14.0 as the first supported stable Python version, matching the implementation and system-test activation gate.
  • Describe agentless delivery as changing only the flag configuration path.
  • Require a supported Datadog Agent or serverless telemetry path for evaluation metrics and exposure events.
  • Keep Agent Remote Configuration available as an explicit secondary source.

Overall the language-additions look clean and consistent across the four files. One nit: the reference [2] in python.md became orphaned when the Agent-based prerequisites were removed.
