=========================
``importlib_metadata``
=========================
``importlib_metadata`` is a library to access the metadata for a
Python package.
As of Python 3.8, this functionality has been added to the
`Python standard library
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html>`_.
This package supplies backports of that functionality including
improvements added to subsequent Python versions.
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.
