# sentry-python - Sentry SDK for Python
[](https://travis-ci.com/getsentry/sentry-python)
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sentry-sdk)
This is the next line of the Python SDK for [Sentry](http://sentry.io/), intended to replace the `raven` package on PyPI.
```python
from sentry_sdk import init, capture_message
init("[email protected]/123")
capture_message("Hello World") # Will create an event.
raise ValueError() # Will also create an event.
```
