        What is it?
        -----------
        
        Distlib is a library which implements low-level functions that relate to
        packaging and distribution of Python software. It is intended to be used as the
        basis for third-party packaging tools. The documentation is available at
        
        https://distlib.readthedocs.io/
        
        Main features
        -------------
        
        Distlib currently offers the following features:
        
        * The package ``distlib.database``, which implements a database of installed
          distributions, as defined by :pep:`376`, and distribution dependency graph
          logic. Support is also provided for non-installed distributions (i.e.
          distributions registered with metadata on an index like PyPI), including
          the ability to scan for dependencies and building dependency graphs.
        * The package ``distlib.index``, which implements an interface to perform
          operations on an index, such as registering a project, uploading a
          distribution or uploading documentation. Support is included for verifying
          SSL connections (with domain matching) and signing/verifying packages using
          GnuPG.
        * The package ``distlib.metadata``, which implements distribution metadata as
          defined by :pep:`643`, :pep:`566`, :pep:`345`, :pep:`314` and :pep:`241`.
        * The package ``distlib.markers``, which implements environment markers as
          defined by :pep:`508`.
        * The package ``distlib.manifest``, which implements lists of files used
          in packaging source distributions.
        * The package ``distlib.locators``, which allows finding distributions, whether
          on PyPI (XML-RPC or via the "simple" interface), local directories or some
          other source.
        * The package ``distlib.resources``, which allows access to data files stored
          in Python packages, both in the file system and in .zip files.
        * The package ``distlib.scripts``, which allows installing of scripts with
          adjustment of shebang lines and support for native Windows executable
          launchers.
        * The package ``distlib.version``, which implements version specifiers as
          defined by :pep:`440`, but also support for working with "legacy" versions and
          semantic versions.
        * The package ``distlib.wheel``, which provides support for building and
          installing from the Wheel format for binary distributions (see :pep:`427`).
        * The package ``distlib.util``, which contains miscellaneous functions and
          classes which are useful in packaging, but which do not fit neatly into
          one of the other packages in ``distlib``.* The package implements enhanced
          globbing functionality such as the ability to use ``**`` in patterns to
          specify recursing into subdirectories.
        
        
        Python version and platform compatibility
        -----------------------------------------
        
        Distlib is intended to be used on and is tested on Python versions 2.7 and 3.6 - 3.10,
        pypy-2.7 and pypy3 on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
        
        Project status
        --------------
        
        The project has reached a mature status in its development: there is a comprehensive
        test suite and it has been exercised on Windows, Ubuntu and macOS. The project is used
        by well-known projects such as `pip <https://pypi.org/pypi/pip>`_ and `caniusepython3
        <https://pypi.org/pypi/caniusepython3>`_.
        
        This project was migrated from Mercurial to Git and from BitBucket to GitHub, and
        although all information of importance has been retained across the migration, some
        commit references in issues and issue comments may have become invalid.
        
        Code of Conduct
        ---------------
        
        Everyone interacting in the distlib project's codebases, issue trackers, chat
        rooms, and mailing lists is expected to follow the `PyPA Code of Conduct`_.
