No, because IA doesn't promise to keep SDK APIs backwards compatible, and implementation details do change from time to time. Module authors are expected to ~~suck it up~~ deal with it.

However, there are publicly available free modules that expose a gateway/designer/vision context, like my [Integration Toolkit module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-integration-toolkit-module/74934) and Paul's open source [Ignition Extensions](https://github.com/IgnitionModuleDevelopmentCommunity/ignition-extensions).

Just know that anything you do in jython with a context object is subject to breakage on Ignition upgrades, and IA support will ignore your whining about it.
