All component look-ups *first* look at the closest site (which comes from the thread local) and then cascade back to less local sites until the global site is queried. Describing this as "falling back" on local sites for "most utility lookups" is incorrect. Now, the Component Architecture itself doesn't actually know about the site in the thread local. It needs to be told to look there. That's where the component hooks play a role. zope.app.component install those to make zope.component look for the thread local. Unless these hooks aren't installed, a site in the thread local won't be found. In Zope X3 3.0, these hooks were set via ZCML, in Zope 3.1+ you have to call zope.app.component.hooks.setHooks(). That bit me at least twice when I ported Five to Zope 3.2.
