``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.
