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 riginally 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.
