              turn verbose mode on

       -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE
              specify Debian package name whose files should be bytecompiled

       -V VRANGE
              force  private  modules  to be bytecompiled with Python 3 version from given range,
              regardless of the default Python 3 version in the system. If  there  are  no  other
              options,  bytecompile all public modules for installed Python 3 versions that match
              given range.  VERSION_RANGE examples:

                 • 3.1    version 3.1 only,

                 • 3.1-   version 3.1 or newer,

                 • 3.1-3.3        version 3.1 or 3.2,

                 • -4.0   all supported 3.X versions

       -X REGEXPR, --exclude=REGEXPR
              exclude items that match given REGEXPR. You may use this option multiple  times  to
              build up a list of things to exclude
