The cache is a single JSON file created automatically in the user's home directory. It stores the parsed text data from all of the metadata input files in a file with a name based on the hash of the contents and *sys.path*, ensuring uniqueness for applications installed into different virtual environments. Upgrade Notes ************* * The type of the entry point objects returned has changed from *pkg_resources.EntryPoint* to *importlib.metadata.EntryPoint*. The new objects still have a *load()* method, but some of the other APIs are different.
