 ``importlib_metadata`` is a library that provides for access to installed
 package metadata.  Built in part on Python's import system, this library
 intends to replace similar functionality in the `entry point
 API`_ and `metadata API`_ of ``pkg_resources``.  Along with
-``importlib.resources`` in `Python 3.7

 Python), this can eliminate the need to use the older and less efficient
 ``pkg_resources`` package.
 
 By "installed package" we generally mean a third-party package installed into
 Python's ``site-packages`` directory via tools such as `pip
 <https://pypi.org/project/pip/>`_.  Specifically,
 it means a package with either a discoverable ``dist-info`` or ``egg-info``
-directory, and metadata defined by `PEP 566`_ or its older specifications.
