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.
