It supplies two main container types: BTreeContainer, which uses B-tree storage for scalable key-value access, and OrderedContainer, which preserves insertion order. The package also serves as the base for zope.site.folder's Folder implementation. It integrates deeply with Zope's component architecture, persistent object storage, security model, and event system through its 19 runtime dependencies.\n\nThe package is used in applications that need to organize persistent objects hierarchically, support traversal and lookup by name, emit lifecycle events when objects are added or removed, and maintain compatibility with Zope's interface-based design patterns. It handles both text and byte keys, supports the PURE_PYTHON environment variable for debugging, and provides utilities like NameChooser for generating unique object names within a container.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Zope-based application or framework that requires object containment and lifecycle management. The package is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions (3.10\u20133.14), has no known vulnerabilities, and is well-integrated into the Zope ecosystem. However, verify that ZPL-2.1 is compatible with your project's license requirements (marked unclear), and be aware of the 19 runtime dependencies\u2014this is a heavyweight addition suitable for Zope-centric projects, not a lightweight utility."},"id":"zope-container","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-container","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-container.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-container/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.container","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Zope Container"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":157542,"position":10753,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"7.2"}
