[dependabot[bot]]

Bumps importlib-metadata from 1.7.0 to 4.8.1.

Changelog

Sourced from importlib-metadata's changelog.

v4.8.1

• #348: Restored support for EntryPoint access by item, deprecating support in the process. Users are advised to use direct member access instead of item-based access::

  • ep[0] -> ep.name
  • ep[1] -> ep.value
  • ep[2] -> ep.group
  • ep[:] -> ep.name, ep.value, ep.group

v4.8.0

• #337: Rewrote EntryPoint as a simple class, still immutable and still with the attributes, but without any expectation for namedtuple functionality such as _asdict.

v4.7.1

• #344: Fixed regression in packages_distributions when neither top-level.txt nor a files manifest is present.

v4.7.0

• #330: In packages_distributions, now infer top-level names from .files() when a top-level.txt (Setuptools-specific metadata) is not present.

v4.6.4

• #334: Correct SimplePath protocol to match pathlib protocol for __truediv__.

v4.6.3

• Moved workaround for #327 to _compat module.

v4.6.2

• bpo-44784: Avoid errors in test suite when DeprecationWarnings are treated as errors.
