Description: CodeMetaPy
        =================
        
        The goal of CodeMetaPy is to generate the JSON-LD file, codemeta.json containing software metadata describing a Python
        package. For more general information about the CodeMeta Project for defining software metadata, see
        https://codemeta.github.io. In particular, new users might want to start with the User Guide, while those looking to
        learn more about JSON-LD and consuming existing codemeta files should see the Developer Guide.
        
        Installation
        ----------------
        
        ``pip install codemetapy``
        
        Usage
        ---------------
        
        Query and convert any package installed through pip:
        
        ``$ pip show -v somepackage | codemetapy``
        
        To pipe to an output file:
        
        ``$ pip show -v somepackage | codemetapy > codemeta.json``
        
        The tool also supports adding properties through parameters:
        
        ``$ pip show -v somepackage | codemetapy --developmentStatus active > codemeta.json``
        
        To read an existing codemeta.json and extend it:
        
        ``$ pip show -v somepackage | codemetapy -i json,pip codemeta.json - > codemeta.json``
        
        Here ``-`` represents standard input and ``-i`` denotes the input types, you can chain as many as you want.
        
        Entrypoint Extension
        ----------------------
        
        Though this is not part of the codemeta specification, the tool currently supports an extra ``entryPoints`` property
        with type ``EntryPoint``. This can be used to describe the entry points specified in a python package (entry points will
        have use a ``file://`` url to refer to the actual entrypoints, this is a bit of a liberal use...). Because this is a
        non-standard extension it has to be explicitly enabled using ``--with-entrypoints``.
