What it is and what it does
zope.location is a foundational Zope 3 package that provides a location system for marking objects with structural identity within an application. 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.
The 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.
Use it for
- Building Zope 3 applications that require objects to maintain structural location and parent-child relationships
- Implementing location-aware traversal in web frameworks built on Zope components
- Creating container hierarchies where objects need to know their position and parent context
- Extending zope.container with location tracking for custom object models
