dh_pycentral [debhelper-options]

dh_pycentral was a debhelper command for registering Python modules with python-central, a system for managing Python modules that could be shared between multiple Python versions.
The tool handled byte-compilation and version-specific installation of Python modules, ensuring they worked correctly with all installed Python versions on the system.
This command is obsolete as python-central was removed from Debian in favor of dhpython2/dhpython3 which provide better integration with modern Python packaging standards.

-v, --verbose

Verbose output.

Process specified package only.

Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

Obsolete and deprecated. Modern packages should use dh_python3 instead. Only relevant for maintaining legacy packages or understanding historical Debian Python packaging.

dhpycentral was part of **python-central**, developed around **2006** for Debian's Python packaging. It was deprecated in favor of python-support and later dhpython2/dh_python3, being removed from Debian after the Python 2 deprecation.
