This issue means that in environments where both `.dist-info` and `.egg-info` exist for a package, they're not deduplicated and the entry points are returned for both. The scenario is common and problemmatic as evidenced by other bug reports (https://github.com/python/importlib_metadata/issues/410, https://github.com/python/importlib_metadata/issues/413). The fix, added in importlib_metadata 4.11.4, has been ported to Python 3.11.1 in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/98875, but the fix should also be backported to Python 3.10.\n\n\u003c!-- gh-pr-number: gh-99132 --\u003e\n* PR: gh-99132\n\u003c!-- /gh-pr-number --\u003e\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jaraco","@type":"Person","name":"jaraco"},"datePublished":"2022-11-05T14:08:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/99130/cpython/issues/99130"}
