I also got annoyed with the
Registry(*args, **kw)
api and so I simplified it to just accept the package name. This is an incompatible change to the api but I can't imagine anyone was relying on the original version.I tried to take this further and define an
IRegistry
that documented both theIDict
and thezope.interface.interfaces.IComponents
but unfortunately zope.interface does not provide any documentation of the component registry API. If zopefoundation/zope.interface#70 goes anywhere then we may revisit that to improve the registry documentation.fixes #2891
