[issue7457] Adding a read_pkg_file to DistributionMetadata

[Jason R. Coombs]

Jason R. Coombs added the comment:

I see now, the code was removed in 29a3eda89995.

But the associated comment indicates distutils is feature-frozen and that subsequent work should be done in distutils2, which of course is now a defunct effort.

Given that information, what's the proper solution for a project that requires the ability to read distribution metadata (preferably one that supports Python 3.2)?
