Python agent v6.8.1.164

Notes

This release of the Python agent updates the log file location in the default newrelic.ini file, and includes multiple bug fixes.

The agent can be installed using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index, or it can be downloaded directly from the New Relic download site.

Improved Features

• Update log_file location in default newrelic.ini

  The newrelic.ini generated using newrelic-admin generate-config has been updated to set the default log_file location to stdout for improved initial visibility. This setting can still be customized to log to stderr or a user-specified file as well.

Bug Fixes

• Handle cherryPy.HTTPRedirects

  cherrypy.HttpRedirects were incorrectly being reported as errors. This has now been corrected thanks to a contribution from @bdeeney!

• Address DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequence

  A deprecation warning concerning unrecognized escape sequences in Python 3.6 (and higher) has been fixed. Thank you @urianchang for your contribution!
