[Distutils] PEP 566 - metadata 1.3 changes

[Daniel Holth]

>1.2 and not 2.0 is correct.

I took a look at pkg_resources. It doesn't read Metadata-Version at all. It
only cares about Version, and in wheels Requires-Dist and Provides-Extra.
Everything else is ignored. So PEP 566 won't break anything there as long
as someone checks that pkg_resources can handle the optional parenthesis
which seems likely.
