Parse Python package metadata from sdist and bdists and etc. A Rust port of the pkginfo Python library.

Add it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
python-pkginfo = "0.6"

then you are good to go. If you are using Rust 2015 you have to add extern crate python_pkginfo to your crate root as well.

use python_pkginfo::Distribution;

fn main() {
    let dist = Distribution::new("path/to/package.whl").unwrap();
    println!("{:#?}", dist.metadata());
}
