Remove deprecated use of setuptools features. See issue 30.
4.7.1 (2019-11-11)¶
Use Python 3 syntax in the documentation. See issue 119.
4.7.0 (2019-11-11)¶
Drop support for Python 3.4.
Fix
queryTaggedValue
,getTaggedValue
,getTaggedValueTags
subclass inheritance. See PR 144.Add support for Python 3.8.
4.6.0 (2018-10-23)¶

4.4.2 (2017-06-14)¶
4.4.1 (2017-05-13)¶
Simplify the caching of utility-registration data. In addition to simplification, avoids spurious test failures when checking for leaks in tests with persistent registries. See pull 84.
Raise
ValueError
when non-text names are passed to adapter registry methods: prevents corruption of lookup caches.
4.4.0 (2017-04-21)¶
Avoid a warning from the C compiler. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/71)
Add support for Python 3.6.
4.3.3 (2016-12-13)¶
Correct typos and ReST formatting errors in documentation.
Add API documentation for the adapter registry.
Ensure that the
LICENSE.txt
file is included in built wheels.Fix C optimizations broken on Py3k. See the Python bug at: http://bugs.python.org/issue15657 (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/60)
4.3.2 (2016-09-05)¶
Fix equality testing of
implementedBy
objects and proxies. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/55)
4.3.1 (2016-08-31)¶
Support Components subclasses that are not hashable. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/53)
4.3.0 (2016-08-31)¶
Add the ability to sort the objects returned by
implementedBy
. This is compatible with the way interface classes sort so they can be used together in ordered containers like BTrees. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/42)Make
setuptools
a hard dependency ofsetup.py
. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/13)Change a linear algorithm (O(n)) in
Components.registerUtility
andComponents.unregisterUtility
into a dictionary lookup (O(1)) for hashable components. This substantially improves the time taken to manipulate utilities in large registries at the cost of some additional memory usage. (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/46)
4.2.0 (2016-06-10)¶
Add support for Python 3.5
Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.2.
4.1.3 (2015-10-05)¶
Fix installation without a C compiler on Python 3.5 (https://github.com/zopefoundation/zope.interface/issues/24).
4.1.2 (2014-12-27)¶
Add support for PyPy3.
Remove unittest assertions deprecated in Python3.x.
Add
zope.interface.document.asReStructuredText
, which formats the generated text for an interface using ReST double-backtick markers.
4.1.1 (2014-03-19)¶
Add support for Python 3.4.
4.1.0 (2014-02-05)¶
Update
boostrap.py
to version 2.2.Add
@named(name)
declaration, that specifies the component name, so it does not have to be passed in during registration.
4.0.5 (2013-02-28)¶
Fix a bug where a decorated method caused false positive failures on
verifyClass()
.
4.0.4 (2013-02-21)¶
Fix a bug that was revealed by porting zope.traversing. During a loop, the loop body modified a weakref dict causing a
RuntimeError
error.
4.0.3 (2012-12-31)¶
Fleshed out PyPI Trove classifiers.
4.0.2 (2012-11-21)¶
Add support for Python 3.3.
Restored ability to install the package in the absence of
setuptools
.LP #1055223: Fix test which depended on dictionary order and failed randomly in Python 3.3.
4.0.1 (2012-05-22)¶
Drop explicit
DeprecationWarnings
for “class advice” APIS (these APIs are still deprecated under Python 2.x, and still raise an exception under Python 3.x, but no longer cause a warning to be emitted under Python 2.x).
4.0.0 (2012-05-16)¶
Automated build of Sphinx HTML docs and running doctest snippets via tox.
Deprecate the “class advice” APIs from
zope.interface.declarations
:implements
,implementsOnly
, andclassProvides
. In their place, prefer the equivalent class decorators:@implementer
,@implementer_only
, and@provider
. Code which uses the deprecated APIs will not work as expected under Py3k.Remove use of ‘2to3’ and associated fixers when installing under Py3k. The code is now in a “compatible subset” which supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2, including PyPy 1.8 (the version compatible with the 2.7 language spec).
Drop explicit support for Python 2.4 / 2.5 / 3.1.
Add support for PyPy.
Add support for continuous integration using
tox
andjenkins
.Add ‘setup.py dev’ alias (runs
setup.py develop
plus installsnose
andcoverage
).Add ‘setup.py docs’ alias (installs
Sphinx
and dependencies).Replace all unittest coverage previously accomplished via doctests with unittests. The doctests have been moved into a
docs
section, managed as a Sphinx collection.LP #910987: Ensure that the semantics of the
lookup
method ofzope.interface.adapter.LookupBase
are the same in both the C and Python implementations.LP #900906: Avoid exceptions due to tne new
__qualname__
attribute added in Python 3.3 (see PEP 3155 for rationale). Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the patch.
3.8.0 (2011-09-22)¶
New module
zope.interface.registry
. This is code moved fromzope.component.registry
which implements a basic nonperistent component registry aszope.interface.registry.Components
. This class was moved fromzope.component
to make porting systems (such as Pyramid) that rely only on a basic component registry to Python 3 possible without needing to port the entirety of thezope.component
package. Backwards compatibility import shims have been left behind inzope.component
, so this change will not break any existing code.New
tests_require
dependency:zope.event
to test events sent by Components implementation. Thezope.interface
package does not have a hard dependency onzope.event
, but ifzope.event
is importable, it will send component registration events when methods of an instance ofzope.interface.registry.Components
are called.New interfaces added to support
zope.interface.registry.Components
addition:ComponentLookupError
,Invalid
,IObjectEvent
,ObjectEvent
,IComponentLookup
,IRegistration
,IUtilityRegistration
,IAdapterRegistration
,ISubscriptionAdapterRegistration
,IHandlerRegistration
,IRegistrationEvent
,RegistrationEvent
,IRegistered
,Registered
,IUnregistered
,Unregistered
,IComponentRegistry
, andIComponents
.No longer Python 2.4 compatible (tested under 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2).
3.7.0 (2011-08-13)¶
Move changes from 3.6.2 - 3.6.5 to a new 3.7.x release line.
3.6.7 (2011-08-20)¶
Fix sporadic failures on x86-64 platforms in tests of rich comparisons of interfaces.
3.6.6 (2011-08-13)¶
LP #570942: Now correctly compare interfaces from different modules but with the same names.
N.B.: This is a less intrusive / destabilizing fix than the one applied in 3.6.3: we only fix the underlying cmp-alike function, rather than adding the other “rich comparison” functions.
Revert to software as released with 3.6.1 for “stable” 3.6 release branch.
3.6.5 (2011-08-11)¶
LP #811792: work around buggy behavior in some subclasses of
zope.interface.interface.InterfaceClass
, which invoke__hash__
before initializing__module__
and__name__
. The workaround returns a fixed constant hash in such cases, and issues aUserWarning
.LP #804832: Under PyPy,
zope.interface
should not build its C extension. Also, prevent attempting to build it under Jython.Add a tox.ini for easier xplatform testing.
Fix testing deprecation warnings issued when tested under Py3K.
3.6.4 (2011-07-04)¶
LP 804951: InterfaceClass instances were unhashable under Python 3.x.
3.6.3 (2011-05-26)¶
LP #570942: Now correctly compare interfaces from different modules but with the same names.
3.6.2 (2011-05-17)¶
Moved detailed documentation out-of-line from PyPI page, linking instead to http://docs.zope.org/zope.interface .
Fixes for small issues when running tests under Python 3.2 using
zope.testrunner
.LP # 675064: Specify return value type for C optimizations module init under Python 3: undeclared value caused warnings, and segfaults on some 64 bit architectures.
setup.py now raises RuntimeError if you don’t have Distutils installed when running under Python 3.
3.6.1 (2010-05-03)¶
A non-ASCII character in the changelog made 3.6.0 uninstallable on Python 3 systems with another default encoding than UTF-8.
Fix compiler warnings under GCC 4.3.3.
3.6.0 (2010-04-29)¶
LP #185974: Clear the cache used by
Specificaton.get
insideSpecification.changed
. Thanks to Jacob Holm for the patch.Add support for Python 3.1. Contributors:
Lennart Regebro Martin v Loewis Thomas Lotze Wolfgang Schnerring
The 3.1 support is completely backwards compatible. However, the implements syntax used under Python 2.X does not work under 3.X, since it depends on how metaclasses are implemented and this has changed. Instead it now supports a decorator syntax (also under Python 2.X):
class Foo: implements(IFoo) ...
can now also be written:
@implementer(IFoo): class Foo: ...
There are 2to3 fixers available to do this change automatically in the zope.fixers package.
Python 2.3 is no longer supported.
3.5.4 (2009-12-23)¶
Use the standard Python doctest module instead of zope.testing.doctest, which has been deprecated.
3.5.3 (2009-12-08)¶
Fix an edge case: make providedBy() work when a class has ‘__provides__’ in its __slots__ (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.devel/22490)
3.5.2 (2009-07-01)¶
BaseAdapterRegistry.unregister, unsubscribe: Remove empty portions of the data structures when something is removed. This avoids leaving references to global objects (interfaces) that may be slated for removal from the calling application.
3.5.1 (2009-03-18)¶
verifyObject: use getattr instead of hasattr to test for object attributes in order to let exceptions other than AttributeError raised by properties propagate to the caller
Add Sphinx-based documentation building to the package buildout configuration. Use the
bin/docs
command after buildout.Improve package description a bit. Unify changelog entries formatting.
Change package’s mailing list address to zope-dev at zope.org as zope3-dev at zope.org is now retired.
3.5.0 (2008-10-26)¶
Fix declaration of _zope_interface_coptimizations, it’s not a top level package.
Add a DocTestSuite for odd.py module, so their tests are run.
Allow to bootstrap on Jython.
Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope3/3.3/+bug/98388: ISpecification was missing a declaration for __iro__.
Add optional code optimizations support, which allows the building of C code optimizations to fail (Jython).
Replace
_flatten
with a non-recursive implementation, effectively making it 3x faster.
3.4.1 (2007-10-02)¶
Fix a setup bug that prevented installation from source on systems without setuptools.
3.4.0 (2007-07-19)¶
Final release for 3.4.0.
3.4.0b3 (2007-05-22)¶
When checking whether an object is already registered, use identity comparison, to allow adding registering with picky custom comparison methods.
3.3.0.1 (2007-01-03)¶
Made a reference to OverflowWarning, which disappeared in Python 2.5, conditional.
3.3.0 (2007/01/03)¶
New Features¶
Refactor the adapter-lookup algorithim to make it much simpler and faster.
Also, implement more of the adapter-lookup logic in C, making debugging of application code easier, since there is less infrastructre code to step through.
Treat objects without interface declarations as if they declared that they provide
zope.interface.Interface
.Add a number of richer new adapter-registration interfaces that provide greater control and introspection.
Add a new interface decorator to zope.interface that allows the setting of tagged values on an interface at definition time (see zope.interface.taggedValue).
Bug Fixes¶
A bug in multi-adapter lookup sometimes caused incorrect adapters to be returned.
3.2.0.2 (2006-04-15)¶
Fix packaging bug: ‘package_dir’ must be a relative path.
3.2.0.1 (2006-04-14)¶
Packaging change: suppress inclusion of ‘setup.cfg’ in ‘sdist’ builds.
3.2.0 (2006-01-05)¶
Corresponds to the verison of the zope.interface package shipped as part of the Zope 3.2.0 release.
3.1.0 (2005-10-03)¶
Corresponds to the verison of the zope.interface package shipped as part of the Zope 3.1.0 release.
Made attribute resolution order consistent with component lookup order, i.e. new-style class MRO semantics.
Deprecate ‘isImplementedBy’ and ‘isImplementedByInstancesOf’ APIs in favor of ‘implementedBy’ and ‘providedBy’.
3.0.1 (2005-07-27)¶
Corresponds to the verison of the zope.interface package shipped as part of the Zope X3.0.1 release.
Fix a bug reported by James Knight, which caused adapter registries to fail occasionally to reflect declaration changes.
3.0.0 (2004-11-07)¶
Corresponds to the verison of the zope.interface package shipped as part of the Zope X3.0.0 release.
