Problem with --pip-show parser for a module with nothing on the License: line but which has following lines

[bryder]

We came across this for

ml-dtypes 0.4.0

It's license section looks like this

License: 
                                         Apache License

Reproducing it in bash

<<<'Name: ml-dtypes

jc:  Error - pip-show parser could not parse the input data.
             If this is the correct parser, try setting the locale to C (LC_ALL=C).
             For details use the -d or -dd option. Use "jc -h --pip-show" for help.

If I put Apache License on the same line as License:

<<<'Name: ml-dtypes

It works.

I'm not sure if it's legal to leave the License: line empty.

Perhaps I should contact the ml_dtypes authors instead?

Thank you for reporting this. It looks like an easy fix and I should be able to get it into the dev branch in the next couple of days.

I have a fix for this in the dev branch and it will make it into the next release:

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/blob/dev/jc/parsers/pip_show.py

You can test by copying the parser file above into your parser plugin folder:

• Linux/unix: $HOME/.local/share/jc/jcparsers
• macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/jc/jcparsers
• Windows: $LOCALAPPDATA\jc\jc\jcparsers

Works well for me thanks (checked on linux)
