It works with zope.interface to let you define interfaces, register implementations as adapters or utilities, and query them at runtime without direct dependencies between components.\n\nThe package provides a global component registry and site manager for organizing components hierarchically, supporting both in-memory and persistent storage. It's used primarily in Zope-based web frameworks and applications that need flexible, runtime-configurable component composition, though it's designed to be independently reusable in any Python project.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working within the Zope ecosystem or building a system that requires interface-based component registration and loose coupling. The package is stable, actively maintained, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, the aging maintenance status (192 days since last release) and unclear license treatment warrant verification before adoption in new projects outside the Zope community."},"id":"zope-component","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-component","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-component.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-component/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-03","license_spdx":"ZPL-2.1","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.component","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Zope Component Architecture"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1014317,"position":4503,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.1"}
