Ok, I give up.

To parse I need access to the .egg-info/ directory. Why? This is the code I currently use to access _dep_map.

import pkg_resources as pr
egg_info = '[...]/src/zope.component.egg-info'
base_dir = os.path.dirname(egg_info)
metadata = pr.PathMetadata(base_dir, egg_info)
dist = pr.Distribution(base_dir, project_name=os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(egg_info))[0], metadata=metadata)
dist._dep_map

Is there anyway to get access to this parsed _dep_map without having a reference to the .egg-info directory? After all, everything needed to parse requires.txt is that file alone.

Note: requires.txt is extracted and stored elsewhere, so I cannot rely in it being inside .egg-info/ directory in order to parse it.

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?).
Ah, you didn't say that, you just said "parse". If you'll file a feature request, I'll replace _dep_map with a public attribute for accessing that information in a future release. In the meantime, you're quite safe using ._dep_map, since obviously I'm not going to change it out from under you.

Done - http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue82

And it is `_Distribution__depmap`, not '_dep_map'.
