python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
| -B | don't write .py[co] files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x |
| -c cmd | program passed in as string (terminates option list) |
| -d | debug output from parser; also PYTHONDEBUG=x |
| -E | ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH) |
| -h | print this help message and exit (also --help) |
| -i |
inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even. if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
|
| -m mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list) |
| -O | optimize generated bytecode slightly; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x |
| -OO | remove doc-strings in addition to the -O optimizations |
| -R |
use a pseudo-random salt to make hash() values of various types be unpredictable between separate invocations of the interpreter, as a defense against denial-of-service attacks
|
| -Q arg | division options: -Qold (default), -Qwarn, -Qwarnall, -Qnew |
| -s | don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE |
| -S | don't imply 'import site' on initialization |
| -t | issue warnings about inconsistent tab usage (-tt: issue errors) |
| -u | unbuffered binary stdout and stderr; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x see man page for details on internal buffering relating to '-u' |
| -v | verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity |
| -V | print the Python version number and exit (also --version) |
| -W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg |
| -x | skip first line of source, allowing use of non-Unix forms of #!cmd |
| -3 | warn about Python 3.x incompatibilities that 2to3 cannot trivially fix |
| file | program read from script file |
| - | program read from stdin (default; interactive mode if a tty) |
| arg ...: | arguments passed to program in sys.argv[1:] |
| PYTHONSTARTUP | file executed on interactive startup (no default) |
| PYTHONPATH | ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the default module search path. The result is sys.path. |
| PYTHONHOME | alternate <prefix> directory (or <prefix>:<exec_prefix>). The default module search path uses /pythonX.X.
|
| PYTHONCASEOK | ignore case in 'import' statements (Windows). |
| PYTHONIOENCODING | Encoding[:errors] used for stdin/stdout/stderr. |
| PYTHONHASHSEED |
if this variable is set to 'random', the effect is the same
as specifying the -R option: a random value is used to seed the hashes of
str, bytes and datetime objects. It can also be set to an integer
in the range [0,4294967295] to get hash values with a predictable seed.
