[\-c cmd | \fB\-m\fR mod | file | \fB\-]\fR [arg] ... Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables): \fB\-B\fR : don't write .py[co] files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x \fB\-c\fR cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list) \fB\-d\fR : debug output from parser; also PYTHONDEBUG=x \fB\-E\fR : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH) \fB\-h\fR : print this help message and exit (also \fB\-\-help\fR) \fB\-i\fR : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even .IP if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x .PP \fB\-m\fR mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list) \fB\-O\fR : optimize generated bytecode slightly; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x \fB\-OO\fR : remove doc\-strings in addition to the \fB\-O\fR optimizations \fB\-R\fR : use a pseudo\-random salt to make hash() values of various types be .IP unpredictable between separate invocations of the interpreter, as a defense against denial\-of\-service attacks .PP \fB\-Q\fR arg : division options: \fB\-Qold\fR (default), \fB\-Qwarn\fR, \fB\-Qwarnall\fR, \fB\-Qnew\fR \fB\-s\fR : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE \fB\-S\fR : don't imply 'import site' on initialization \fB\-t\fR : issue warnings about inconsistent tab usage (\fB\-tt\fR: issue errors) \fB\-u\fR : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x .IP see man page for details on internal buffering relating to '\-u' .PP \fB\-v\fR : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x .IP can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity .PP \fB\-V\fR : print the Python version number and exit (also \fB\-\-version\fR) \fB\-W\fR arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno .IP also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg .PP \fB\-x\fR : skip first line of source, allowing use of non\-Unix forms of #!cmd \fB\-3\fR : 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:] .PP Other environment variables: PYTHONSTARTUP: file executed on interactive startup (no default) PYTHONPATH : ':'\-separated list of directories prefixed to the .TP default module search path. The result is sys.path. .PP PYTHONHOME : alternate directory (or :). .IP The default module search path uses /pythonX.X. .PP 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 .IP as specifying the \fB\-R\fR 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. .SH "SEE ALSO" .br fail2ban-client(1)
