Summary: PEP 345Use modern Python packaging metadata standard (1.2, PEP 345)
Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

FWIW, PEP345 is just the metadata standard, not really the carrier of the data. But it's easy enough to put the info in a setup.cfg as it's implemented by distutils2/packaging (http://alexis.notmyidea.org/distutils2/setupcfg.html).

We could use wrappers like d2to1 (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/d2to1) to maintain only one file with the data but would still be forward-compatible.

On the other hand as long as distutils2/packaging isn't officiall released/included in Python 3.X it may be senseless to do so.

Is this ticket still important 3 years later? If so, how can we move it forward?

Just to clarify, the complaint is that our PKG-INFO file uses "Metadata-Version: 1.1" instead of "1.2"?
