DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the boa-constructor command.  This manual page  was  written  for  the
       Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       boa-constructor  is  an  IDE  and a RAD tool for creating cross-platform applications built on top of the
       Python language and the WxWindows GUI toolkit.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with  long  options  starting  with  two  dashes
       (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

       -O, --OverridePrefsDirName directory
              Specify  a  different directory to load preferences from. Default is $HOME/.boa-constructor and is
              used if it exists. Directory will be created (and populated) if it does not exist.

       -C, --Constricted
              Run in constricted mode, overrides the preferences.

       -D, --Debug
              Run the first filename passed on the command-line in the Debugger on startup.

       -T, --Trace
              Run in trace mode. Used for tracking down core dumps. Every function call  is  logged  to  a  file
              which can later be parsed for a traceback.

       -S, --StartupFile
              Execute  the script pointed to by $BOASTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP in the Shell namespace. The Editor
              object is available as sys.boa_ide. Overrides the preferences.

       -B, --BlockHomePrefs
              Prevent the $HOME directory being used.

       -E, --EmptyEditor
              Don't open the files that were open last time Boa was closed.

       -R, --RemoteDebugServer
              Run the first filename passed on the  command-line  in  a  Remote  Debugger  Server  that  can  be
              connected to over a socket.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of program.
