Description
Following the steps here https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/python/automatic/example/#execute-the-automatically-instrumented-server
Run server first
opentelemetry-instrument --traces_exporter console --metrics_exporter none python server_automatic.py
Then run client
python client.py testing

Client do have output, but server automatic do not have any output, based on the doc here https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/python/automatic/example/#execute-the-automatically-instrumented-server

Research direction
Start with the automatic instrumentation example linked in the issue and reproduce the documented server and client commands using server_automatic.py and client.py. Compare the server console with the expected JSON spans in the documentation; done means the automatically instrumented server emits spans as described.
