Hmm.

Reading the PEP, the EggInfo class represents the contents of the
.egg-info directory. OK, but .egg-info is a directory containing
information about the egg. The class name implies that directory
contains an "egg info" (ie, an "egg information"). But that's not
grammatically correct - you don't have "an information".

So the question is, what is a good (singular noun) word for the
collection of data in the .egg-info directory?

I don't know enough of the concepts/terminology for this stuff to be
able to suggest anything, though.

Paul.
