It works by hooking into Zope's request-handling machinery via zope.publisher and zope.traversing.\n\nThe package is explicitly designed for the Zope/Plone ecosystem, where it serves as a convenience for accessing request context. The Zope3 framework itself discourages this pattern in favor of explicit dependency injection, so this package is most relevant for legacy Plone codebases or projects that prioritize pragmatism over strict separation of concerns. It has no external dependencies beyond the Zope framework stack itself.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively developing or maintaining Plone or Zope applications. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. No, if you are starting a new Zope3 project or prefer explicit dependency injection patterns. The aging maintenance status (336 days since last release) is not a blocker for a stable utility, but verify that your Zope/Plone version is compatible before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"zope-globalrequest","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-globalrequest","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-globalrequest.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-globalrequest/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.globalrequest","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Global way of retrieving the currently active request."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":125023,"position":11839,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0"}
