importlib-metadata==0.23, python3.6

>>> import pickle
>>> import importlib_metadata
>>> ep = importlib_metadata.EntryPoint('foo', 'bar', 'baz')
>>> pickle.dumps(ep)

I'll need to do something else for flake8 it seems 🤔

Same happens in python3.8 -- should I report this to bpo instead for future issues?

Personally, I prefer here for now.

I'm going to proceed with the surgical fix for this issue, but can re-explore a more substantive change in another ticket.
