pkginfo documentation

This package provides an API for querying the distutils metadata written in the PKG-INFO file inside a source distriubtion (an sdist) or a binary distribution (e.g., created by running bdist_egg or bdist_wheel). 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).
