Library to access the metadata for a Python package.

This package supplies third-party access to the functionality of
`importlib.metadata <https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html>`_
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:

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1

   * - importlib_metadata
     - stdlib
   * - 7.0
     - 3.13
   * - 6.5
     - 3.12
   * - 4.13
     - 3.11
   * - 4.6
     - 3.10
   * - 1.4
     - 3.8


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.
