When you decorate a function with @hookable or wrap it, all code that calls it\u2014including code that imported it before the hook was set\u2014will immediately see the replacement implementation. This pattern is useful in frameworks and plugin systems where you want to provide default behavior but allow later customization without requiring callers to be aware of the change.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and provides a thin, efficient layer over Python's callable protocol. It's part of the Zope ecosystem but can be used standalone. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and both CPython and PyPy, with precompiled wheels available for common platforms.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need dynamic function replacement with global visibility. The package is stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries minimal overhead. The main caveat is verifying that ZPL-2.1 is compatible with your project's licensing model, and confirming that the license treatment uncertainty does not create compliance risk for your use case."},"id":"zope-hookable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-hookable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-hookable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-hookable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-18","license_spdx":"ZPL-2.1","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.hookable","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Zope hookable"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1008039,"position":4520,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.2"}
