The code is much more readable with the Distribution root name in the classes now I think.
I've made a small tweak the code and changed the _DistributionMetadata class to a _parse_distribution_metadata function instead. I think the code is a bit simpler this way, since then the DistributionDirectory.metadata attribute is just a straight distutils.dist.DistributionMetadata class.
Well, when PEP 376 will be applied in Distutils and pkgutil, I would rather have a DistributionMetadata class that handles writing *and* reading of PKG-INFO files, so it feels more natural to me to add the reading feature within the class rather than in a function wrapper. Plus, it makes it possible for third-party tools to instanciate DistributionMetadata to work with this file, which would be impossible if the code we add is a private function. Also, Phillip proposed to move this class to pkgutil and remove it from Distutils, which makes sense, so maybe we should take the whole class and put it in pkgutil, maybe in its own "metadata" module, e.g. make pkgutil become a package so pkgutil.py doesn't grow too much

A cool, that was a bad renaming, I'll apply that change thx I am adding you as a developer in bitbucket to simplify things Thanks Tarek
