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.

print require('zope.component')[0]._dep_map would be the normal way to get it, for a package that's already installed.

However, from some of the rest of what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to parse this for an un-built package. Is that the case?
