It is being implemented in distlib, and the (short!) appendix to the PEP itself shows how to read the format using the standard library's email module. v2.0 is designed to fix many of the issues that prevented the adoption of v1.2, including tweaks to the standardised version scheme and the addition of a formal extension mechanism to avoid the ad hoc extensions that occurred with earlier metadata versions.
