It reduces boilerplate when you need to add behavior to an existing object without modifying it directly\u2014common in plugin systems, decorators, and layered architectures.\n\nThe package works by helping you declare which object to delegate to and automatically handling method/property forwarding. It relies on zope.interface to ensure the wrapper still satisfies the original interface contract. With a single runtime dependency and support for Python 3.8 through 3.14, it integrates cleanly into projects already using the Zope ecosystem or those adopting interface-based design.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using zope.interface or building systems that rely on interface-based design and composition. The package is stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with minimal friction. It is most valuable in projects that benefit from explicit delegation and interface contracts; for simple wrapping without interface requirements, standard Python patterns may suffice."},"id":"lazr-delegates","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lazr-delegates","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/lazr-delegates.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/lazr-delegates/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"lazr.delegates","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Easily write objects that delegate behavior"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":661121,"position":5453,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.0.0"}
