# `pkginfo` documentation

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` or `bdist_wheel`). 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`).
