[New-bugs-announce] [issue4908] adding a get_metadata in distutils

[Tarek Ziadé]

New submission from Tarek Ziadé <ziade.tarek at gmail.com>:

Let's add a "get_metadata" API in Distutils that would return
in a dictionary the content of the .egg-info file introduced into Python
2.5.


  >>> from distutils import get_metadata
  >>> get_metadata('ThePackage')
  {..}

(Working on a prototype)
