backports.entry-points-selectable 1.0.2

Compatibility shim providing selectable entry points for older implementations

Compatibility shim to ease adoption of importlib_metadata 3.6. Avoids deprecation warnings. Use this shim for libraries or applications invoking entry_points() that run on Python older than 3.10 or where importlib_metadata is older than 3.6. To use, add backports.entry_points_selectable to your project requirements. It will include importlib_metadata automatically where needed. Projects should still require importlib_metadata as appropriate for API uses other than entry_points.

Then in code, instead of from importlib.metadata import entry_points, use:

from backports.entry_points_selectable import entry_points

And then use the “selectable” features (pass keyword arguments to entry_points or invoke .select() on the result).
