AUTHOR
The python-coverage command is a one-line Python script which calls the coverage.py Python module to do all the work. The module was rigi-
nally developed by Gareth Rees, and is now developed by Ned Batchelder. The module's home page is
http://www.nedbatchelder.com/code/modules/coverage.html.
This manual page was cobbled together by Lars Wirzenius for Debian, by copy-pasting from the help texts from the module.
