Can the opencensus stats python stackdriver exporter be used in the python 2 app engine standard environment?

Question

In the docs it says to install a cloud client library (pip install google-cloud-monitoring). However the cloud client libraries aren't available in the python2 standard environment on app engine, described here.

To use the stackdriver exporter, do you have to be using the beta python 3 runtime?

Answer 1

Yes, this is only available in the new Python 3.7 runtime.
