+This package provides an API for querying the distutils metadata written
+in the PKG-INFO file inside a source distriubtion (an sdist) or a binary
+distribution (e.g., created by running bdist_egg). It can also query the
+EGG-INFO directory of an installed distribution, and the *.egg-info stored
+in a “development checkout” (e.g, created by running setup.py develop).
