pyversions - print python version information

pyversions [-h] [-v] [<options>]

pyversions prints information about installed, supported python runtimes, the default runtime, and parses the information of the PythonVersion fields in the package control file.

Show the default python version.
Show the supported python versions.
Reads the value of the XS-Python-Version field in the source section of a control file and shows all matching python versions. The parameter is interpreted as a version string, if it is not the name of a file. If the XS-Python-Version field is missing, get the version information from debian/pyversions. Without any parameter, it will fall back to list the supported Python versions after checking debian/control and debian/pyversions.
Show the installed supported python versions.
Limit the output to the version numbers of the python versions.
Print a help text.
