Library to access the metadata for a Python package.
This package supplies third-party access to the functionality of
`importlib.metadata <https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html>`_
including improvements added to subsequent Python versions.
Compatibility

New features are introduced in this third-party library and later merged
into CPython. The following table indicates which versions of this library
were contributed to different versions in the standard library:
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - importlib_metadata
- stdlib
* - 4.4
- 3.10
* - 1.4
- 3.8
Usage
=====
See the `online documentation <https://importlib_metadata.readthedocs.io/>`_
for usage details.
`Finder authors
<https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#finders-and-loaders>`_ can
also add support for custom package installers. See the above documentation
for details.
Caveats

This project primarily supports third-party packages installed by PyPA
tools (or other conforming packages). It does not support:
- Packages in the stdlib.
- Packages installed without metadata.
