pycentral - register and build utility for Python packages
SYNOPSIS
pycentral
[-h] [-v] <cmd> [<cmd options>] [<args>]

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

-h, --help
Print a help text.
pycentral has the following sub commands. For fine grained help,
call: pycentral <cmd>.

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/site-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.
