zope.security

The Security framework provides a generic mechanism to implement security policies on Python objects.

What is new in this release:

• Added support for Python 3.2 and 3.3.
• 100% unit test coverage.
• zope.security.untrustedpython moved to separate project: zope.untrustedpython
• Converted use of assert in non-test code to apprpriate error types:
• Non-dict's passed to Checker.__init__.
• Removed dprecattion of zope.security.adapter.TrustedAdapterFactory. Although it has been marked as deprectaed since before Zope3 3.2, current versions of zope.compoent still rely on it.
• Converted doctests to Sphinx documentation in 'docs'.
• Added 'setup.py docs' alias (installs Sphinx and dependencies).
• Added 'setup.py dev' alias (runs setup.py develop plus installs nose and coverage).
• Made non-doctest tests fully independent of zope.testing.
• Two modules, zope.security.checker and zope.security.management, register cleanups with zope.testing IFF it is importable, but the tests no longer rely on it.
• Enabled building extensions without the 'svn:external' of the zope.proxy headers into our 'include' dir.
• Bumped zope.proxy dependency to ">= 4.1.0" to enable compilation on Py3k.
• Replaced deprecated zope.component.adapts usage with equivalent zope.component.adapter decorator.
• Replaced deprecated zope.interface.classProvides usage with equivalent zope.interface.provider decorator.
• Replaced deprecated zope.interface.implements usage with equivalent zope.interface.implementer decorator.
• Dropped support for Python 2.4 and 2.5.
• Added test convenience helper create_interaction and with interaction().

What is new in version 3.8.1:

• Fixed circular import beween zope.security.decorator and zope.security.proxy which led to an ImportError when only importing zope.security.decorator.

What is new in version 3.8.0:

• Added tests for our own configure.zcml.
• Added zcml extra dependencies, run related tests only if zope.configuration is available.
• Run tests related to the untrustedpython functionality only if RestrictedPython is available.

Requirements:

• Python
