py3-importlib_metadata-8.7.1

library providing an API for accessing packages metadata

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

importlib_metadata is a library which provides an API for accessing an installed packages metadata (see PEP 566), such as its entry points or its top-level name. This functionality intends to replace most uses of pkg_resources entry point API and metadata API. Along with importlib.resources in Python 3.7 and newer (backported as importlib_resources for older versions of Python), this can eliminate the need to use the older and less efficient pkg_resources package.
