Welcome to importlib_metadata documentation!#

importlib_metadata supplies a backport of importlib.metadata, enabling early access to features of future Python versions and making functionality available for older Python versions. Users are encouraged to use the Python standard library where suitable and fall back to this library for future compatibility. For general usage guidance, start with importlib.metadata but substitute importlib_metadata for importlib.metadata.
