[Grok-dev] grokcore.component 1.0 released!

Thu May 1 08:00:48 EDT 2008

It's my pleasure to announce grokcore.component 1.0!

This package includes the base classes, grokkers and directives for the 
most basic component types of the Zope Component Architecture (adapters, 
multi-adapters, global utilities). It allows you to use the grokking 
mechanism (for these types of components) outside of Grok (e.g. in Zope 
3, Zope 2 or any other zope.component-based application) rather than 
configuring them through ZCML or through explicit provide* calls in 
Python (which make code pretty much untestable).

More information is available on 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/grokcore.component.

On a related note, the Grok trunk has been modified to depend on 
grokcore.component. Much thanks to Brandon Craig Rhodes and his sprint 
team at PyCON 08 for doing most of the work! Note that this change is 
completely transparent for applications built on Grok.
