 To get the full set of requirements for a distribution, use the ``requires()``
-function.  Note that this returns an iterator::

 ``importlib.metadata`` extends this protocol by looking for an optional

 metadata in locations other than the file system, you should derive from

-single argument which is the name of the package whose metadata is being
