This is already possible in JS SDK, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be here.

Agreed, thanks. I already access trace_id as publicly accessible in the Python SDK, so figured it would be fine to have here too.

Note that this PR only exposes it on the TransactionContext, I think it could be exposed on Transaction as well, but that looked like a bit more effort/design required.

IMO its a good idea to also expose that on the Transaction, Span and TransactionOrSpan types.

I'm happy to pick this up as a subsequent PR. The simplest option would be to expose the TraceContext using a getter, as I think everything on there is useful read-only information to the user. Is it acceptable to expose the inner protocol structs in that way?

Alternatively I could look at exposing the fields individually, which would be quite boilerplate heavy.

Opened a separate PR for exposing on the Transaction/Span types here: #534

Is there a scheduled release cadence for the sentry family of crates? Would like to know when a release with this in is likely to be cut

We don’t have a fixed cadence, rather adhoc. I triggered the automated release which needs to be approved and should be out shortly: getsentry/publish#1766

Amazing, thank you
