There is an extremely experimental feature that allows you to patch in-place the official prometheus_client library.
If you have issues with the official client or just want to try it out it's as simple as:
import prometheus_client
from pytheus.experimental.compatibility import patch_client
patch_client(prometheus_client)
This has to be done at the start/initialization of your application and you can load a different backend before applying with patch with patch_client by using load_backend.
This supports all the metrics types Counter, Gauge, Summary & Histogram. It supports the default REGISTRY and generate_latest. It also works with the start_http_server function.
Of course it's extremely limited and you might be using a feature that is not yet supported, but feel free to try! :)
(This was used to test an internal library without having to migrate all of it, so since I worked on it might as well share it! )
