-
-When you install coverage.py, a command-line script simply called ``coverage``
-is placed in your Python scripts directory.  To help with multi-version
-installs, it will also create either a ``coverage2`` or ``coverage3`` alias,
-and a ``coverage-X.Y`` alias, depending on the version of Python you're using.
-For example, when installing on Python 2.7, you will be able to use
-``coverage``, ``coverage2``, or ``coverage-2.7`` on the command line.
-
-Coverage has a number of commands which determine the action performed:
-
-* **run** -- Run a Python program and collect execution data.
-
-* **report** -- Report coverage results.
-
-* **html** -- Produce annotated HTML listings with coverage results.
-
-* **xml** -- Produce an XML report with coverage results.
-
-* **annotate** -- Annotate source files with coverage results.
-
-* **erase** -- Erase previously collected coverage data.
-
-* **combine** -- Combine together a number of data files.
-
-* **debug** -- Get diagnostic information.
-
-Help is available with the **help** command, or with the ``--help`` switch on
-any other command::
-
-    $ coverage help
-    $ coverage help run
-    $ coverage run --help
-
-Version information for coverage.py can be displayed with
-``coverage --version``.
-
-Any command can use a configuration file by specifying it with the
-``--rcfile=FILE`` command-line switch.  Any option you can set on the command
-line can also be set in the configuration file.  This can be a better way to
-control coverage.py since the configuration file can be checked into source
-control, and can provide options that other invocation techniques (like test
-runner plugins) may not offer. See :ref:`config` for more details.
-
-
-.. _cmd_execution:
-
-Execution
----------
-
-You collect execution data by running your Python program with the **run**
-command::
-
-    $ coverage run my_program.py arg1 arg2
-    blah blah ..your program's output.. blah blah
-
-Your program runs just as if it had been invoked with the Python command line.
-Arguments after your file name are passed to your program as usual in
-``sys.argv``.  Rather than providing a filename, you can use the ``-m`` switch
-and specify an importable module name instead, just as you can with the
-Python ``-m`` switch::
-
-    $ coverage run -m packagename.modulename arg1 arg2
-    blah blah ..your program's output.. blah blah
-
-If you want :ref:`branch coverage <branch>` measurement, use the ``--branch``
-flag.  Otherwise only statement coverage is measured.
-
-You can specify the code to measure with the ``--source``, ``--include``, and
-``--omit`` switches.  See :ref:`Specifying source files <source_execution>` for
-details of their interpretation.  Remember to put options for run after "run",
-but before the program invocation::
-
-    $ coverage run --source=dir1,dir2 my_program.py arg1 arg2
-    $ coverage run --source=dir1,dir2 -m packagename.modulename arg1 arg2
-
-By default, coverage does not measure code installed with the Python
-interpreter, for example, the standard library. If you want to measure that
-code as well as your own, add the ``-L`` flag.
-
-If your coverage results seem to be overlooking code that you know has been
-executed, try running coverage again with the ``--timid`` flag.  This uses a
-simpler but slower trace method.  Projects that use DecoratorTools, including
-TurboGears, will need to use ``--timid`` to get correct results.  This option
-can also be enabled by setting the environment variable COVERAGE_OPTIONS to
-``--timid``.
-
-If you are measuring coverage in a multi-process program, or across a number of
-machines, you'll want the ``--parallel-mode`` switch to keep the data separate
-during measurement.  See :ref:`cmd_combining` below.
-
-During execution, coverage.py may warn you about conditions it detects that
-could affect the measurement process.  The possible warnings include:
-
-* "Trace function changed, measurement is likely wrong: XXX"
-
-  Coverage measurement depends on a Python setting called the trace function.
-  Other Python code in your product might change that function, which will
-  disrupt coverage.py's measurement.  This warning indicate that has happened.
-  The XXX in the message is the new trace function value, which might provide
-  a clue to the cause.
-
-* "Module XXX has no Python source"
-
-  You asked coverage.py to measure module XXX, but once it was imported, it
-  turned out not to have a corresponding .py file.  Without a .py file,
-  coverage.py can't report on missing lines.
-
-* "Module XXX was never imported"
-
-  You asked coverage.py to measure module XXX, but it was never imported by
-  your program.
-
-* "No data was collected"
-
-  Coverage.py ran your program, but didn't measure any lines as executed.
-  This could be because you asked to measure only modules that never ran,
-  or for other reasons.
-
-
-
-.. _cmd_datafile:
-
-Data file
----------
-
-Coverage collects execution data in a file called ".coverage".  If need be, you
-can set a new file name with the COVERAGE_FILE environment variable.
-
-By default,each run of your program starts with an empty data set. If you need
-to run your program multiple times to get complete data (for example, because
-you need to supply disjoint options), you can accumulate data across runs with
-the ``-a`` flag on the **run** command.
-
-To erase the collected data, use the **erase** command::
-
-    $ coverage erase
-
-
-.. _cmd_combining:
-
-Combining data files
---------------------
-
-If you need to collect coverage data from different machines or processes,
-coverage can combine multiple files into one for reporting. Use the ``-p`` flag
-during execution to append distinguishing information to the .coverage data
-file name.
-
-Once you have created a number of these files, you can copy them all to a single
-directory, and use the **combine** command to combine them into one .coverage
-data file::
-
-    $ coverage combine
-
-If the different machines run your code from different places in their file
-systems, coverage won't know how to combine the data.  You can tell coverage
-how the different locations correlate with a ``[paths]`` section in your
-configuration file.  See :ref:`config_paths` for details.
-
-If you are collecting and renaming your own data files, you'll need to name
-them properly for **combine** to find them.   It looks for files named after
-the data file (defaulting to ".coverage", overridable with COVERAGE_FILE), with
-a dotted suffix.  All such files in the current directory will be combined.
-Here are some examples of combinable data files::
-
-    .coverage.machine1
-    .coverage.20120807T212300
-    .coverage.last_good_run.ok
-
-
-.. _cmd_reporting:
-
-Reporting
----------
-
-Coverage provides a few styles of reporting, with the **report**, **html**,
-**annotate**, and **xml** commands.  They share a number of common options.
-
-The command-line arguments are module or file names to report on, if you'd like
-to report on a subset of the data collected.
-
-The ``--include`` and ``--omit`` flags specify lists of filename patterns. They
-control which files to report on, and are described in more detail
-in :ref:`source`.
-
-The ``-i`` or ``--ignore-errors`` switch tells coverage.py to ignore problems
-encountered trying to find source files to report on.  This can be useful if
-some files are missing, or if your Python execution is tricky enough that file
-names are synthesized without real source files.
-
-If you provide a ``--fail-under`` value, the total percentage covered will be
-compared to that value.  If it is less, the command will exit with a status
-code of 2, indicating that the total coverage was less than your target.  This
-can be used as part of a pass/fail condition, for example in a continuous
-integration server.  This option isn't available for **annotate**.
-
-
-.. _cmd_summary:
-
-Coverage summary
-----------------
-
-The simplest reporting is a textual summary produced with **report**::
-
-    $ coverage report
-    Name                      Stmts   Miss  Cover
-    ---------------------------------------------
-    my_program                   20      4    80%
-    my_module                    15      2    86%
-    my_other_module              56      6    89%
-    ---------------------------------------------
-    TOTAL                        91     12    87%
-
-For each module executed, the report shows the count of executable statements,
-the number of those statements missed, and the resulting coverage, expressed
-as a percentage.
-
-The ``-m`` flag also shows the line numbers of missing statements::
-
-    $ coverage report -m
-    Name                      Stmts   Miss  Cover   Missing
-    -------------------------------------------------------
-    my_program                   20      4    80%   33-35, 39
-    my_module                    15      2    86%   8, 12
-    my_other_module              56      6    89%   17-23
-    -------------------------------------------------------
-    TOTAL                        91     12    87%
-
-You can restrict the report to only certain files by naming them on the
-command line::
-
-    $ coverage report -m my_program.py my_other_module.py
-    Name                      Stmts   Miss  Cover   Missing
-    -------------------------------------------------------
-    my_program                   20      4    80%   33-35, 39
-    my_other_module              56      6    89%   17-23
-    -------------------------------------------------------
-    TOTAL                        76     10    87%
-
-Other common reporting options are described above in :ref:`cmd_reporting`.
-
-
-.. _cmd_html:
-
-HTML annotation
----------------
-
-Coverage can annotate your source code for which lines were executed
-and which were not.  The **html** command creates an HTML report similar to the
-**report** summary, but as an HTML file.  Each module name links to the source
-file decorated to show the status of each line.
-
-Here's a `sample report`__.
-
-__ /code/coverage/sample_html/index.html
-
-Lines are highlighted green for executed, red for missing, and gray for
-excluded.  The counts at the top of the file are buttons to turn on and off
-the highlighting.
-
-A number of keyboard shortcuts are available for navigating the report.
-Click the keyboard icon in the upper right to see the complete list.
-
-The title of the report can be set with the ``title`` setting in the
-``[html]`` section of the configuration file, or the ``--title`` switch on
-the command line.
-
-If you prefer a different style for your HTML report, you can provide your
-own CSS file to apply, by specifying a CSS file in the ``[html]`` section of
-the configuration file.  See :ref:`config_html` for details.
-
-The ``-d`` argument specifies an output directory, defaulting to "htmlcov"::
-
-    $ coverage html -d coverage_html
-
-Other common reporting options are described above in :ref:`cmd_reporting`.
-
-Generating the HTML report can be time-consuming.  Stored with the HTML report
-is a data file that is used to speed up reporting the next time.  If you
-generate a new report into the same directory, coverage.py will skip
-generating unchanged pages, making the process faster.
-
-
-.. _cmd_annotation:
-
-Text annotation
----------------
-
-The **annotate** command produces a text annotation of your source code.  With a
-``-d`` argument specifying an output directory, each Python file becomes a text
-file in that directory.  Without ``-d``, the files are written into the same
-directories as the original Python files.
-
-Coverage status for each line of source is indicated with a character prefix::
-
-    > executed
-    ! missing (not executed)
-    - excluded
-
-For example::
-
-      # A simple function, never called with x==1
-
-    > def h(x):
-          """Silly function."""
-    -     if 0:   #pragma: no cover
-    -         pass
-    >     if x == 1:
-    !         a = 1
-    >     else:
-    >         a = 2
-
-Other common reporting options are described above in :ref:`cmd_reporting`.
-
-
-.. _cmd_xml:
-
-XML reporting
--------------
-
-The **xml** command writes coverage data to a "coverage.xml" file in a format
-compatible with `Cobertura`_.
-
-.. _Cobertura: http://cobertura.sourceforge.net
-
-You can specify the name of the output file with the ``-o`` switch.
-
-Other common reporting options are described above in :ref:`cmd_reporting`.
-
-
-.. _cmd_debug:
-
-Diagnostics
------------
-
-The **debug** command shows internal information to help diagnose problems.
-If you are reporting a bug about coverage.py, including the output of this
-command can often help::
-
-    $ coverage debug sys > please_attach_to_bug_report.txt
-
-Two types of information are available: ``sys`` to show system configuration,
-and ``data`` to show a summary of the collected coverage data.
