zope.annotation 6.0

Object annotation mechanism

zope.annotation README

This package provides a mechanism to store additional information about objects without need to modify object class.

Changes

5.2 (2025-08-06)

• Add support for Python 3.12, 3.13.

• Drop support for Python 3.7, 3.8.

5.1 (2025-02-13)

• Add support for Python 3.12, 3.13.

• Drop support for Python 3.7, 3.8.

5.0 (2023-03-27)

• Drop support for Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6.

4.8 (2022-09-06)

• Add support for Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10.

• Drop support for Python 3.4.

4.7.0 (2018-10-16)

• Add support for Python 3.7 and drop support for Python 3.3.

• Fix a DeprecationWarning from zope.annotation.attribute. See issue 16.

4.6.0 (2017-09-22)

• Make AttributeAnnotations have a __parent__. The __parent__ is the object that it stores __annotations__ on. This is a convenience for upwards traversal as used by things like zope.keyreference. See https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.annotation/issues/11

4.5 (2017-06-03)

• Drop support for Python 2.6.

• Claim support for Python 3.5 and 3.6.

• Reach 100% test coverage.

• AttributeAnnotations is now always a collections.MutableMapping. Previously on Python 2 it was a UserDict.DictMixin.

4.4.1 (2015-01-09)

• Convert doctests to Sphinx documentation. Doctest snippets are still tested via tox -e docs.

4.4.0 (2015-01-09)

• LP #98462: add additional “iterable mapping” methods to IAnnotations.

• LP #878265:

  • Make persistent (used only for doctests) a soft dependency, installable via the zope.annotation[btree] extra.

  • Make BTrees (used for attribute storage) a soft dependency, installable via the zope.annotation[btree] extra. Fall back to using dict for attribute storage if BTrees is not importable.

4.3.0 (2014-12-26)

• Add support for Python 3.4.

4.2.0 (2013-03-18)

• Don’t make AttributeAnnotations available as a view.

4.1.0 (2013-02-24)

• Add __bool__ method to IAnnotations API for Python 3 compatibility.

4.0.1 (2013-02-11)

• Add tox.ini.

4.0.0 (2013-02-11)

• Add support for Python 3.3 and PyPy.

• Replace deprecated zope.component.adapts usage with equivalent zope.component.adapter decorator.

• Replace deprecated zope.interface.implements usage with equivalent zope.interface.implementer decorator.

• Drop support for Python 2.4 and 2.5.

• Include zcml dependencies in configure.zcml, require the necessary packages via a zcml extra, added tests for zcml.

3.5.0 (2009-09-07)

• Add ZODB3 to install_requires, because it’s a true requirement of this package, not just a testing requirement, as BTrees are in use.

• Fix one test that was inactive because it’s function was overriden by a mistake.

3.4.2 (2009-03-09)

• Clean up package description and documentation a bit.

• Change mailing list address to zope-dev at zope.org, as zope3-dev at zope.org is now retired.

• Remove old zpkg-related files.

3.4.1 (2008-08-26)

• Annotation factories take care not to store proxies in the database, so adapting an object wrapped in a LocationProxy works correctly. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope3/+bug/261620

3.4.0 (2007-08-29)

• Annotation factories are no longer containing the factored object. Instead the objects are located using zope.location. This removes a dependency to zope.app.container.
