entry_points() fails with configparser.DuplicateOptionError #68
Description
In GitLab by @guijarro on Jun 6, 2019, 21:45
I get the following error when calling importlib_metadata.entry_points():
>>> importlib_metadata.entry_points()
Traceback (most recent call last):

configparser.DuplicateOptionError: While reading from '<string>' [line 16]: option 'bliss' in section 'console_scripts' already exists
My setup.py for package bliss contains a console-scripts entry point with multiple scripts, but none of
them is duplicated...
How can I debug this ? What can be the origin of this error ?
Otherwise I can workaround (or hide) the problem by adding strict=False in the ConfigParser constructor of importlib-metadata.
