Query metadata from sdists / bdists / installed packages.
pkginfo READMEThis package provides an API for querying the distutils metadata written in
the PKG-INFO file inside a source distribution (an sdist) or a
binary distribution (e.g., created by running bdist_egg). It can
also query the EGG-INFO directory of an installed distribution, and
the *.egg-info stored in a "development checkout"
(e.g, created by running setup.py develop).
Please see the pkginfo docs <http://packages.python.org/pkginfo>_
for detailed documentation.

Remove support for old setuptools leaving PKG-INFO in the root of
the project directory.
Update homepage URL to point to Launchpad, rather than PyPI.
Add support for building wheels.
Add support for Python 3.5.
Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.2.
Add support for Python 3.4, PyPy3.
Add 100% coverage for pkginfo.commandline module.
twine package.Support "develop" packages which keep their *.egg-info in a subdirectory.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/919147.
Add support for "unpacked SDists" (thanks to Mike Lundy for the patch).
Suppress resource warning leaks reported against clients.
Fix 'commandline' module under Py3k.

Test supported Python versions under tox.
Drop support for Python 2.5.
Add a setup.py dev alias: runs setup.py develop and installs
testing extras (nose and coverage).
Fix introspection of installed namespace packages. They may be installed as eggs or via dist-installed 'egg-info' files. https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/934311
Avoid a regression in 0.8 under Python 2.6 / 2.7 when parsing unicode. https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/733827/comments/3
Work around Python 2.7's breakage of StringIO. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/733827
Fix bug in introspection of installed packages missing the
__package__ attribute.
Preserve newlines in the description field. Thanks to Sridhar
Ratnakumar for the patch.
100% test coverage.
Replace use of StringIO.StringIO with io.StringIO, where available
(Python >= 2.6).
Replace use of rfc822 stdlib module with email.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 on zope.testing.
Add tests that the "environment markers" spelled out in the approved PEP 345 are captured.
Add Project-URL for 1.2 PKG-INFO metadata (defined in the accepted
version of PEP 345).
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.
Add Index class as an abstraction over a collection of distributions.
Add download_url_prefix argument to pkginfo script. If passed,
the script will use the prefix to synthesize a download_url for
distributions which do not supply that value directly.
__file__
or PKG-INFO.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 the PKG-INFO file. The programmer can override that version
when creating the distribution object.
Add support for introspection of "development eggs" (checkouts with
PKG-INFO, perhaps created via setup.py develop).
Add a console script, pkginfo, which takes one or more paths
on the command line and writes out the associated information. Thanks
to runeh for the patch!
Add get_metadata helper function, which dispatches a given path or
module across the available distribution types, and returns a distribution
object. Thanks to runeh for the patch!
Make distribution objects support iteration over the metadata fields.
Thanks to runeh for the patch!
Make Distribution and subclasses new-style classes. Thanks to runeh
for the patch!
bdist_egg binary distributions.
