*Compatibility Note*

The "selectable" entry points were introduced in ``importlib_metadata``

3.6 and Python 3.10. Prior to those changes, ``entry_points`` accepted

no parameters and always returned a dictionary of entry points, keyed

by group. With ``importlib_metadata`` 5.0 and Python 3.12,

``entry_points`` always returns an ``EntryPoints`` object. See

`backports.entry_points_selectable<https://pypi.org/project/backports.entry-points-selectable>`_

for compatibility options.
