pkginfo

pkginfo is a Python library providing an API for querying metadata from Python package distributions. It can extract information from source distributions (sdists), binary distributions (bdists, including wheels), and installed packages by inspecting PKG-INFO, EGG-INFO, or dist-info files/directories. The library is actively maintained, with version 1.12.1.2 released in February 2025, and maintains a consistent release cadence.
