What kind of change does this PR introduce?
What is the current behavior?
A wheel is documented to contain both
.dist-infoand.datadirectories which contain additional metadata for a particular package. However, even though the pip repository rules extract wheel contents into the repository directory, data in these directories are not exposed. In order to access this, the:whltarget must be consumed and unzipped again, even though this information already lives in the pip repository generated by Bazel. Something should be done to expose this data so users don't have to write additional parsers.Issue Number: N/A
What is the new behavior?
This pull request exposes files in
.dataand.dist-infoin individual filegroups, allowing users to consume them without having to re-extract this data from the wheel.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
