Load entry points using 'importlib.metadata' instead of 'pkg_resources'. Include a caching layer. The cache stores the parsed text data from all of the ini input files in a single JSON file with a name based on the hash of the path entries and the mtimes. This should produce a unique filename for each import path, regardless of the use of a virtualenv. The data is stored in a format that means no other files need to be examined or parsed in order to return EntryPoint objects.

stevedore -- Manage Dynamic Plugins for Python Applications
Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure
and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions
("plugins") at runtime. Many applications implement their own
library for doing this, using __import__ or importlib. stevedore avoids
creating yet another extension mechanism by building on top of entry
points. The code for managing entry points tends to be repetitive,
though, so stevedore provides manager classes for implementing common
patterns for using dynamically loaded extensions.
