Bump importlib-metadata from 2.0.0 to 4.4.0

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps importlib-metadata from 2.0.0 to 4.4.0.

Changelog

Sourced from importlib-metadata's changelog.

v4.4.0

• #300: Restore compatibility in the result from Distribution.entry_points (EntryPoints) to honor expectations in older implementations and issuing deprecation warnings for these cases:
  • EntryPoints objects are once again mutable, allowing for sort() and other list-based mutation operations. Avoid deprecation warnings by casting to a mutable sequence (e.g. list(dist.entry_points).sort()).
  • EntryPoints results once again allow for access by index. To avoid deprecation warnings, cast the result to a Sequence first (e.g. tuple(dist.entry_points)[0]).

v4.3.1

• #320: Fix issue where normalized name for eggs was incorrectly solicited, leading to metadata being unavailable for eggs.

v4.3.0

• #317: De-duplication of distributions no longer requires loading the full metadata for PathDistribution objects, entry point loading performance by ~10x.

v4.2.0

• Prefer f-strings to .format calls.

v4.1.0

• #312: Add support for metadata 2.2 (Dynamic field).
• #315: Add SimplePath protocol for interface clarity in PathDistribution.

v4.0.1

• #306: Clearer guidance about compatibility in readme.

v4.0.0

• #304: PackageMetadata as returned by metadata() and Distribution.metadata() now provides normalized metadata honoring PEP 566:
  • If a long description is provided in the payload of the RFC 822 value, it can be retrieved as the Description field.
  • Any multi-line values in the metadata will be returned as such.
  • For any multi-line values, line continuation characters are removed. This backward-incompatible change means that any projects relying on the RFC 822 line continuation characters being present must be tolerant to them having been removed.
  • Add a json property that provides the metadata converted to a JSON-compatible form per PEP 566.

v3.10.1

• Minor tweaks from CPython.

v3.10.0
