Hello atanubanerji,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • Beyond Python, what are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc.)
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
Most importantly, What have you tried so far? Please share your code so far, wrapped in CODE tags. That way we can see how you are using it and make suggestions.

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.





Thanks, in advance,
Robin

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

	provides support for installing python modules independent
	of the current installed Python version and handling

	      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.

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

       showdefault
	      Show default python version number. Deprecated, use pyversions(1)

       showsupported

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 values standard and optimze to indicate how files  should  be  byte-
       compiled.
