It provides four main index types: field indices for orderable values, keyword indices, topic indices, and text indices with pluggable lexicon, splitter, and normalizer components. The package sits in the Zope ecosystem and depends on BTrees for tree storage, persistent for object persistence, and zope.interface for interface definitions.\n\nDevelopers use zope.index when building catalog systems that need to efficiently search and retrieve objects by various criteria. It's primarily relevant for Zope-based applications or systems that adopt the Zope catalog pattern. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a Zope-based application or adopting the Zope catalog pattern. The package is stable, actively maintained, and has no known vulnerabilities. However, verify the ZPL-2.1 license implications for your project first, as license treatment is marked unclear. Not recommended for general Python search/indexing needs outside the Zope ecosystem."},"id":"zope-index","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-index","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-index.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-index/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-18","license_spdx":"ZPL-2.1","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.index","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Indices for using with catalog like text, field, etc."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76309,"position":14636,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.1"}
