Yes, I read metadata of source distributions by trying to find the PKG-INFO files and extracting at least Name and Version from it (using filenames is unreliable -- eg: "latest.zip"). I thought that due to environment markers and such changes hinting static metadata, the source distribution will at least have METADATA (formerly PKG-INFO) in it. Will that be the case with distutuils2? I know that distutils/setuptools includes PKG-INFO. -srid
