Read metadata from Python packages
Project description
Library to access the metadata for a Python package.
This package supplies third-party access to the functionality of importlib.metadata 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:
| importlib_metadata | stdlib |
|---|---|
| 4.8 | 3.11 |
| 4.4 | 3.10 |
| 1.4 | 3.8 |
Usage
See the online documentation for usage details.
Finder authors 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.
