Mailman 3 Distribution metadata: build timestamp of the distribution - Distutils-SIG

15 Dec 2014


      Howdy all,
Where can I find the build timestamp when a distribution was built by
‘distutils.setup’?
The application I'm writing has a need to get a distribution and use the
timestamp when that distribution was built::
import pkg_resources
distribution_name = "foo"
    distribution = pkg_resources.get_distribution(distribution_name)
    distribution_timestamp = distribution.build_timestamp
That doesn't work because the attribute doesn't exist. Where can I find
the timestamp the specified distribution was built?
