<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>while looking over the recent peps i noticed that we keep a few
inherent inefficiencies in where to find dist-info folders</p>
<p>because they include version numbers, to get a distribution we
have to search for it<br>
which is no longer really sensible as we no longer have
multi-version installation in any upcoming standard.<br>
</p>
<p>in order to address that i'd like to propose to switch</p>
<p>from <span class="blob-code-inner">"{distribution}-{version}.dist-info/"
to "</span><span class="blob-code-inner">{distribution}.dist-info/"</span></p>
<p><span class="blob-code-inner">given that it has been used since
quite a while i would prefer a quick feedback loop from the ML
before thinking about writing a PEP.<br>
</span></p>
