importlib-metadata: Modules from Python Standard Lib and 3rd Parties

i**mportlib-metadata** is a Python library that provides access to metadata for Python packages. The **importlib-metadata** modules and metadata dataset is a critical resource for developers and organizations working with Python, providing detailed insights into the usage of code external to the **importlib-metadata** package. This dataset covers 65 **importlib-metadata** versions from 2.1.2 to 7.0.0.

The dataset can be joined with [Python Standard Library Releases](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/providers/GZT1Z1RAUM8/Version%255E) module data and our other [Python Package Datasets](https://app.snowflake.com/marketplace/providers/GZT1Z1RAUM8/Version%255E) to evaluate risk, answering these questions, among others:

- Which modules are deprecated in importlib-metadata?
- What non-standard, third-party libraries are essential dependencies not only to importlib-metadata but also to your application's other packages, including cases in which multiple packages might rely on the same 3rd-party libraries?

As packages continue to evolve, understanding the landscape of standard library and third-party code used by individual packages becomes essential for maintaining a robust and secure codebase. This allows users to have a more fine-grained understanding of security risks and compatibility issues as their own applications evolve. This dataset serves as a comprehensive resource, enabling users to effectively manage their package dependencies. It is particularly valuable for risk audit teams, software developers, and tech companies that aim to enhance operational efficiency and minimize disruptions caused by incompatible or unsupported package versions.

This dataset not only facilitates immediate compatibility checks but also underpins long-term strategies for software health monitoring and upgrade planning. It offers a substantial return on investment by preempting future compatibility issues and promoting a forward-looking stance on software maintenance.

**importlib-metadata 7.0.0,** from December 2023, is the latest version included and emphasizes security and stability improvements. All versions since 2.1.2, released in November 2021, are also present in this dataset.
