devel/py-backports.entry-points-selectable 1.3.0 DragonFly

Compatibility shim to ease adoption of importlib_metadata 3.6. Supplies forward-compatibility of "selectable" entry points even on older versions of importlib_metadata and importlib.metadata, and avoids usage that triggers deprecation warnings.

Use this shim for libraries or applications invoking entry_points() that run on Python older than 3.10 or where importlib_metadata is older than 3.6. In most cases, this shim is unnecessary and the easiest thing to do is simply require importlib_metadata >= 3.6 on all Pythons (or only those prior to 3.10a7). In some environments, a library may be constrained on which versions of importlib_metadata can be required, so this library bridges that gap.
