It may also be worth adding support for parsing the files under
.egg-info
- for instance, those 'extras' in requires.txt.
See the 'requires()' method of Distribution objects:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#distribution-methods
I've already looked into that before (in pkg_resources.py) -
unfortunately, this does not return all of requires.txt (as Python dict,
that is), but only *what* you specify in the 'extras' argument (how am I
supposed to know the /possible/ extras sections beforehand?).
The closest I've come to is using `split_sections` and `_get_metadata` to
construct the dict myself. But that is not the ideal way to provide/use an
API.
