 # opentelemetry-auto-instr-python
-Auto-Instrumentation for Python (per OTEP 0001)
+The auto-instrumentation for Python (per [OTEP 0001](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/blob/master/text/0001-telemetry-without-manual-instrumentation.md)) instruments each library in a separately installable package to ensure users only need to install the libraries that make sense for their use-case. This repository contains the code initially [donated by DataDog](https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/opentelemetry-instrumentation/) in the `reference` folder. All instrumentation that has been ported lives in the `instrumentation` directory.
+
+# porting ddtrace/contrib to instrumentation
+
+The steps below describe the process to port integrations from the reference directory containing the originally donated code to OpenTelemetry.
+
+1. Move the code into the instrumentation directory
+
+```
+mkdir -p instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/jinja2
+git mv reference/ddtrace/contrib/jinja2 instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/jinja2
+```
+
+2. Move the tests
+
+```
+git mv reference/tests/contrib/jinja2 instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/tests
+```
+
+3. Add `README.rst`, `setup.cfg` and `setup.py` files and update them accordingly
+
+```bash
+cp _template/* instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/
+```
+
+4. Add `version.py` file and update it accordingly
+
+```bash
+mv instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/version.py instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-jinja2/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/jinja2/version.py
+```
+
+5. Fix relative import paths to using ddtrace package instead of using relative paths
+6. Update the code and tests to use the OpenTelemetry API
