 A dependency is an external component that is called by your application. Dependency data is collected using OpenCensus Python and its various integrations. The data is then sent to Application Insights under Azure Monitor as `dependencies` telemetry.
 
 First, instrument your Python application with latest [OpenCensus Python SDK](./opencensus-python.md).

 # Set up Azure Monitor for your Python application
 
 > [!NOTE]
-> OpenTelemetry announced the [sunsetting of OpenCensus](https://opentelemetry.io/blog/2023/sunsetting-opencensus/). Azure continues to support the Python OpenCensus SDK and will not drop support for it without at least one year of advance notification. The [OpenTelemetry-based Python offering](opentelemetry-enable.md?tabs=python) is our current reccomended solution for Python applications.
