Variable _unique Wrapper for ``distributions`` to return unique distributions by name.
def distribution(distribution_name): (source)

Get the ``Distribution`` instance for the named package. :param distribution_name: The name of the distribution package as a string. :return: A ``Distribution`` instance (or subclass thereof).

def distributions(**kwargs): (source)

Get all ``Distribution`` instances in the current environment. :return: An iterable of ``Distribution`` instances.

def metadata(distribution_name) -> _meta.PackageMetadata: (source)

Get the metadata for the named package. :param distribution_name: The name of the distribution package to query. :return: A PackageMetadata containing the parsed metadata.

def version(distribution_name): (source)

Get the version string for the named package. :param distribution_name: The name of the distribution package to query. :return: The version string for the package as defined in the package's "Version" metadata key.

_unique = (source)

Wrapper for ``distributions`` to return unique distributions by name.

def entry_points(**params) -> EntryPoints: (source)

Return EntryPoint objects for all installed packages. Pass selection parameters (group or name) to filter the result to entry points matching those properties (see EntryPoints.select()). :return: EntryPoints for all installed packages.

def files(distribution_name): (source)

Return a list of files for the named package. :param distribution_name: The name of the distribution package to query. :return: List of files composing the distribution.

def requires(distribution_name): (source)

Return a list of requirements for the named package. :return: An iterator of requirements, suitable for packaging.requirement.Requirement.

def packages_distributions() -> Mapping[str, List[str]]: (source)

Return a mapping of top-level packages to their distributions. >>> import collections.abc >>> pkgs = packages_distributions() >>> all(isinstance(dist, collections.abc.Sequence) for dist in pkgs.values()) True
