Setuptools must be able to do it internally, but I can't find an API in the documentation.

The only time setuptools pays any attention to PKG-INFO metadata is to get a package's version when the filename isn't enough to determine it - something that usually happens only on an in-development copy of a package.

All of the metadata that it uses comes from setuptools-defined files, and is provided via the API of Distribution objects:
