Package: pkginfo
pkginfoREADMEThis package provides an API for querying the distutils metadata written in
thePKG-INFOfile inside a source distribution (ansdist) or a
binary distribution (e.g., created by runningbdist_egg).  It can
also query theEGG-INFOdirectory of an installed distribution, and
the*.egg-infostored in a “development checkout”
(e.g, created by runningsetup.py develop).Please see thepkginfo docsfor detailed documentation.pkginfoChangelog1.9.6 (2023-01-08)Fix various typos in docs / docstrings.

They may be installed as eggs or via dist-installed ‘egg-info’ files.https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/934311Avoid a regression in 0.8 under Python 2.6 / 2.7 when parsing unicode.https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/733827/comments/30.8 (2011-03-12)Work around Python 2.7’s breakage of StringIO.  Fixeshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/733827Fix bug in introspection of installed packages missing the__package__attribute.0.7 (2010-11-04)Preserve newlines in thedescriptionfield.  Thanks to Sridhar
Ratnakumar for the patch.100% test coverage.0.6 (2010-06-01)Replace use ofStringIO.StringIOwithio.StringIO, where available
(Python >= 2.6).Replace use ofrfc822stdlib module withemail.parser, when
available (Python >= 2.5).  Ensured that distributions “unfold” wrapped
continuation lines, stripping any leading / trailing whitespace, no matter
which module was used for parsing.Remove bogus testing dependency onzope.testing.Add tests that the “environment markers” spelled out in the approved
PEP 345 are captured.AddProject-URLfor1.2PKG-INFO metadata (defined in the accepted
version of PEP 345).0.5 (2009-09-11)Marked package as non-zip-safe.Fix Trove metadata misspelling.Restore compatibility with Python 2.4.Note that the introspection of installed packages / modules works only
in Python 2.6 or later.AddIndexclass as an abstraction over a collection of distributions.Adddownload_url_prefixargument topkginfoscript.  If passed,
the script will use the prefix to synthesize adownload_urlfor
distributions which do not supply that value directly.0.4.1 (2009-05-07)Fix bugs in handling of installed packages which lack__file__orPKG-INFO.0.4 (2009-05-07)Extend the console script to allow output as CSV or INI.  Also, added
arguments to specify the metadata version and other parsing / output
policies.Add support for the different metadata versions specified in PEPs
241, 314, and 345.  Distributions now parse and expose only the attributes
corresponding to their metadata version, which defaults to the version
parsed from thePKG-INFOfile.  The programmer can override that version
when creating the distribution object.0.3 (2009-05-07)Add support for introspection of “development eggs” (checkouts withPKG-INFO, perhaps created viasetup.py develop).Add a console script,pkginfo, which takes one or more paths
on the command line and writes out the associated information.  Thanks
torunehfor the patch!Addget_metadatahelper function, which dispatches a given path or
module across the available distribution types, and returns a distribution
object.  Thanks torunehfor the patch!Make distribution objects support iteration over the metadata fields.
Thanks torunehfor the patch!MakeDistributionand subclasses new-style classes.  Thanks torunehfor the patch!0.2 (2009-04-14)Add support for introspection ofbdist_eggbinary distributions.0.1.1 (2009-04-10)Fix packaging errors.0.1 (2009-04-10)Initial release.
