At least *.egg-info works without-a-version and will be written that way when installed in development mode. As a shortcut when possible pkg_resources would read the package name and version number from the filename and not bother looking inside the metadata file until necessary. I don't recall

Re: [Distutils] [proposal] version-free + lookup-friendly dist-info location

Users may want to split installations over multiple folders and creating a working environment by merging them (through symlinks / PYTHONPATH / sys.path / site / .pth). Python doesn't support multiple versions of the same module during runtime, and therefore I don't see any benefit in including a

[Distutils] [proposal] version-free + lookup-friendly dist-info location

Hi everyone, while looking over the recent peps i noticed that we keep a few inherent inefficiencies in where to find dist-info folders because they include version numbers, to get a distribution we have to search for it which is no longer really sensible as we no longer have multi-version
