 Use this shim for libraries or applications invoking ``entry_points()`` that run on Python older than 3.10 or where importlib_metadata is older than 3.6. In most cases, this shim is unnecessary and the easiest thing to do is simply require ``importlib_metadata >= 3.6`` on all Pythons (or only those prior to 3.10a7). In some environments, a library may be constrained on which versions of ``importlib_metadata`` can be required, so this library bridges that gap.
 
-To use this shim, add ``backports.entry_points_selectable`` to your project requirements. It will require ``importlib_metadata`` automatically where needed (prior to Python 3.8) but be satisfied by older versions. Projects should still require ``importlib_metadata`` as appropriate for API uses other than for ``entry_points``.

Projects should still require ``importlib_metadata`` as appropriate for API uses other than for ``entry_points``.
 
 Then in code, instead of ``from importlib.metadata import entry_points``, use::
 
     from backports.entry_points_selectable import entry_points
 
 And then use the "selectable" features (pass keyword arguments to ``entry_points`` or invoke ``.select()`` on the result).
 
-This backport has a very lenient dependency on `importlib_metadata` for older Pythons and is a single module implementation. If adding a dependency is a concern, this module may be vendored into the downstream project.
