Duplicate metadata is reflected by package #101
Description
In GitLab by @jaraco on Nov 30, 2019, 20:53
In this comment, @RonnyPfannschmidt reported that when the metadata for a package appears more than once in sys.path, that metadata gets emitted for each instance in which it appears.
I'm not sure what's to be done in this case, but I wanted to split it out as a separate issue from the issue caused by the presence of both importlib.metadata (Python 3.8) and its backport (importlib_metadata), which was addressed in #91.
Ronny, can you describe more about the conditions that cause this behavior to happen? What distro, how did you create the virtualenv? Would you consider supplying a Docker script that builds up such an environment?

FTR, when a package appears both in
.andlib, I think those are legitimately separate Distributions and should be expected to appear twice.jaraco commentedon Oct 22, 2020

this was about having multiple relative/absolute paths in sys.path that would in turn allow multiple ways to get to the same absolute path of a distribution
i will try to replicate this once i fetch the situation at work

Closing as this issue has been stale for some time, but happy to revisit as needed.
Declare hidden imports for pyinstaller. Closes #101.
Merge branch 'bugfix/101-pyinstaller-expose-trees' into 'master'
