       pycentral - register and build utility for Python packages

SYNOPSIS
       pycentral [-h] [-v] <cmd> [<cmd options>] [<args>]

DESCRIPTION
       pycentral
	provides support for installing python modules independent
	of the current installed Python version and handling
	byte-compilation and -removal tasks in installation scripts.

OPTIONS
       -v, --version
	      Limit the output to the version numbers of the python versions.

       -h, --help
	      Print a help text.

       pycentral  has the following sub commands. For fine grained help, call:
       pycentral <cmd>.

       bccompile
	      Byte compile .py files in a package.

       bcremove
	      Remove the byte compiled .py files.

       list   List all managed files.

       pkginstall
	      Make a package available for all supported runtimes.

       pkgprepare
	      Prepare a package for all supported runtimes.

       pkgremove
	      Remove a package installed for all supported runtimes.

       pkglist
	      List pycentral-managed files of a package for all supported run‐
	      times.

       rtinstall
	      Make installed packages available for this runtime.

       rtremove
	      Remove packages installed for this runtime.

       updatedefault
	      Update the default python version.

       debhelper

	      (called by dh_pycentral).

       pycentraldir <package>
	      Show the installation directory used by pycentral for <package>.

       showdefault
	      Show default  python  version  number.  Deprecated,  use	pyver‐
	      sions(1)

       showsupported
	      Show  the	 supported  python  versions.  Deprecated,  use pyver‐
	      sions(1)

       showversions
	      Show version numbers of supported python versions.   Deprecated,
	      use pyversions(1) dh_pycentral, should not be called directly).

       version
	      Show the pycentral version.

FILES
       /etc/python/debian_config  is  searched	for  the  attribute overwrite-
       local.	 If   set   to	  1,	or    True,    existing	   files    in
       /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/*-packages  are  overwritten	with symbolic links to
       the pycentral install area. The default is to abort the installation of
       a package, when files already exist. This behaviour may be useful, when
       python libraries were manually  installed  into	this  directory.   The
       attribute byte-compile can be set to a comma separated list of the val‐
       ues standard and optimze to indicate how files should be byte-compiled.
