Objects gain ``__name__`` and ``__parent__`` attributes to indicate their position in an object hierarchy, enabling traversal and location-aware operations. It is typically used as a base layer in Zope applications and frameworks that need to track object containment and identity.\n\nThe package depends on zope.interface, zope.schema, and zope.proxy to implement location proxies and interface contracts. It is maintained as part of the Zope Foundation ecosystem and supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.13, including PyPy). The package is stable and production-ready but is primarily useful within Zope-based architectures; standalone use outside that context is uncommon.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or maintaining a Zope 3 or Zope 5 application. No, if you are working outside the Zope ecosystem\u2014this package is a specialized component with no general-purpose use case. The aging maintenance status (336 days since last release) is typical for stable Zope Foundation packages and does not indicate abandonment, but verify that your Zope version aligns with the supported Python versions (3.9+)."},"id":"zope-location","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-location","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zope-location.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zope-location/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"zope.location","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Zope Location"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":183914,"position":10052,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.0"}
