I'm building/installing a package: foo, using conda, which has several dependencies: bar and blatz, which I'm also building/installing with conda.
They all build without error.
When I conda install foo, foo and all its dependencies get installed correctly and I can run foo just fine.
But, while all foo's dependencies get equivalent ...dist-info folders installed into site-packages/, foo does not!
And that makes it impossible to use the following trick for automatic version reporting:
(foo/__init__.py):
from importlib.metadata import version
__version__ = version('foo')
Why does conda omit the ...dist-info folder for the main installation target, while including it for the dependencies?
