Description: =========================
         ``importlib_metadata``
        =========================
        
        ``importlib_metadata`` is a library to access the metadata for a Python
        package.  It is intended to be ported to Python 3.8.
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        ``importlib_metadata``, unlike its sister packages importlib and
        importlib.resources, operates on Python Distribution packages (the
        package as installed by pip or similar).
        
        This module exposes a few functions:
        
        :func:`version` takes a distribution package name and returns the
        version for that package.
        
        :func:`entry_points` takes a distribution package name and returns
        a structure of entry points declared by that package.
        
        :func:`resolve` accepts an entry point as returned by
        :func:`entry_points` and resolves it to the module or callable that
        it references.
        
        Support for Custom Package Installers
        =====================================
        
        ``importlib_metadata`` provides hooks for third-party package installers
        through their declared finders. A custom installer, if it provides its
        own finder for installed packages, should also provide on that finder
        a ``find_distribution`` callable that when called with
        the name of a package will return a ``Distribution`` instance capable
        of loading the metadata for that named package (or None if that finder
        has no knowledge of that package or its metadata).
        
        
        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.
