zope.browsermenu
Browser menu implementation for Zope.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but only if you are already working within a Zope Toolkit project. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, it is explicitly not designed for standalone use and requires adopting the full Zope ecosystem. Install it as a dependency of a Zope application, not as a general-purpose menu library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later.
- Intended for use within Zope Toolkit projects; the package documentation notes it is not reusable without depending on a large chunk of Zope Toolkit and its assumptions.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
zope.browsermenu is a Zope Toolkit component that implements browser menus and provides ZCML directives for declaratively configuring them in web applications. It is part of the Zope framework ecosystem and handles the registration and rendering of menu structures in browser-based interfaces.
The package is tightly integrated with the Zope Toolkit stack, depending on 11 other Zope packages including zope.interface, zope.component, zope.configuration, and zope.security. It is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.13), but the project explicitly notes that it is not reusable without adopting the broader Zope Toolkit and its architectural assumptions. This makes it primarily suitable for developers already working within a Zope-based application.
Use it for
- Registering and configuring browser menus in Zope web applications using ZCML directives.
- Building menu hierarchies and menu items for Zope-based web interfaces.
- Integrating menu systems with Zope's security and component architecture.
- Extending or customizing menu behavior in existing Zope Toolkit projects.

Before you install
Low install friction with a pure Python wheel. Actively maintained as of 2025-09-12 with recent Python 3.12 and 3.13 support added. Requires 11 Zope Toolkit dependencies, so installation pulls in a substantial ecosystem.
Requires Python 3.9 or later. Intended for use within Zope Toolkit projects; the package documentation notes it is not reusable without depending on a large chunk of Zope Toolkit and its assumptions.
