Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the python lambda layer only instruments and sends Tracing.

It can match the list of features we have available in nodejs so it can send both metrics, traces and logs by default.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support Metrics and Logs just like it's supported in nodejs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual instrumentation.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Python Lambda layer's current autoinstrumentation and providers with the corresponding Node.js list. Confirm how the Python layer currently sends tracing, then identify the provider support needed for metrics and logs. Done means Python Lambda support matches Node.js by sending metrics, traces, and logs by default.
