I don't think it was speed of parsing the file that was his concern, rather that if it's a separate file that only exists when there are entry points, then you don't have to open a file for every installed distribution.

OK. In that case, exports.json would avoid the need to open pydist.json to look for exports - if exports.json is missing, it would mean that dist has no exports. Regards, Vinay Sajip
