Description-en: Package Discovery and Resource Access using pkg_resources
The pkg_resources module provides an API for Python libraries to
access their resource files, and for extensible applications and
frameworks to automatically discover plugins. It also provides
runtime support for using C extensions that are inside zipfile-format
eggs, support for merging packages that have separately-distributed
modules or subpackages, and APIs for managing Python's current
"working set" of active packages.
