NAME
python - an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented pro-
gramming language
SYNOPSIS
python [ -d ] [ -i ] [ -O ] [ -S ] [ -t ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ -x
] [ -h ] [ -V ]
[ -c command | script | - ] [ arguments ]
DESCRIPTION
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented pro-
gramming language that combines remarkable power with very
clear syntax. For an introduction to programming in Python
you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The Python Library
Reference documents built-in and standard types, constants,
functions and modules. Finally, the Python Reference Manual
describes the syntax and semantics of the core language in
(perhaps too) much detail. (These documents may be located
via the INTERNET RESOURCES below; they may be installed on
your system as well.)
Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules
written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be
dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten-
sion language for existing applications. See the internal
documentation for hints.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
-d Turn on parser debugging output (for wizards only,
depending on compilation options).
-i When a script is passed as first argument or the -c
option is used, enter interactive mode after executing
the script or the command. It does not read the
$PYTHONSTARTUP file. This can be useful to inspect
global variables or a stack trace when a script raises
an exception.
-O Turn on basic optimizations. This changes the filename
extension for compiled (bytecode) files from .pyc to
.pyo. Given twice, causes docstrings to be discarded.
-S Disable the import of the module site and the site-
dependent manipulations of sys.path that it entails.
-t Issue a warning when a source file mixes tabs and
spaces for indentation in a way that makes it depend on
the worth of a tab expressed in spaces. Issue an error
when the option is given twice.
-u Force stdin, stdout and stderr to be totally unbuf-
fered.
-v Print a message each time a module is initialized,
showing the place (filename or built-in module) from
which it is loaded. When given twice, print a message
for each file that is checked for when searching for a
module. Also provides information on module cleanup at
exit.
-x Skip the first line of the source. This is intended
for a DOS specific hack only. Warning: the line
numbers in error messages will be off by one!
-h Prints the usage for the interpreter executable and
exits.
-V Prints the Python version number of the executable and
exits.
-c command
Specify the command to execute (see next section).
This terminates the option list (following options are
passed as arguments to the command).
INTERPRETER INTERFACE
The interpreter interface resembles that of the UNIX shell:
when called with standard input connected to a tty device,
it prompts for commands and executes them until an EOF is
read; when called with a file name argument or with a file
as standard input, it reads and executes a script from that
file; when called with -c command, it executes the Python
statement(s) given as command. Here command may contain mul-
tiple statements separated by newlines. Leading whitespace
is significant in Python statements! In non-interactive
mode, the entire input is parsed befored it is executed.
If available, the script name and additional arguments
thereafter are passed to the script in the Python variable
sys.argv , which is a list of strings (you must first import
sys to be able to access it). If no script name is given,
sys.argv[0] is an empty string; if -c is used, sys.argv[0]
contains the string '-c'. Note that options interpreted by
the Python interpreter itself are not placed in sys.argv.
In interactive mode, the primary prompt is `>>>'; the second
prompt (which appears when a command is not complete) is
`...'. The prompts can be changed by assignment to sys.ps1
or sys.ps2. The interpreter quits when it reads an EOF at a
prompt. When an unhandled exception occurs, a stack trace
is printed and control returns to the primary prompt; in
non-interactive mode, the interpreter exits after printing
the stack trace. The interrupt signal raises the Keyboard-
Interrupt exception; other UNIX signals are not caught
(except that SIGPIPE is sometimes ignored, in favor of the
IOError exception). Error messages are written to stderr.
FILES AND DIRECTORIES
These are subject to difference depending on local installa-
tion conventions; ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} are
installation-dependent and should be interpreted as for GNU
software; they may be the same. The default for both is
/usr/local.
${exec_prefix}/bin/python
Recommended location of the interpreter.
${prefix}/lib/python<version>
${exec_prefix}/lib/python<version>
Recommended locations of the directories containing the
standard modules.
${prefix}/include/python<version>
${exec_prefix}/include/python<version>
Recommended locations of the directories containing the
include files needed for developing Python extensions
and embedding the interpreter.
~/.pythonrc.py
User-specific initialization file loaded by the user
module; not used by default or by most applications.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
PYTHONHOME
Change the location of the standard Python libraries.
By default, the libraries are searched in
${prefix}/lib/python<version> and
${exec_prefix}/lib/python<version>, where ${prefix} and
${exec_prefix} are installation-dependent directories,
both defaulting to /usr/local. When $PYTHONHOME is set
to a single directory, its value replaces both ${pre-
fix} and ${exec_prefix}. To specify different values
for these, set $PYTHONHOME to ${prefix}:${exec_prefix}.
PYTHONPATH
Augments the default search path for module files. The
format is the same as the shell's $PATH: one or more
directory pathnames separated by colons. Non-existant
directories are silently ignored. The default search
path is installation dependent, but generally begins
with ${prefix}/lib/python<version> (see PYTHONHOME
above). The default search path is always appended to
$PYTHONPATH. If a script argument is given, the direc-
tory containing the script is inserted in the path in
front of $PYTHONPATH. The search path can be manipu-
lated from within a Python program as the variable
sys.path .
PYTHONSTARTUP
If this is the name of a readable file, the Python com-
mands in that file are executed before the first prompt
is displayed in interactive mode. The file is executed
in the same name space where interactive commands are
executed so that objects defined or imported in it can
be used without qualification in the interactive ses-
sion. You can also change the prompts sys.ps1 and
sys.ps2 in this file.
PYTHONDEBUG
If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent
to specifying the -d option.
PYTHONINSPECT
If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent
to specifying the -i option.
PYTHONUNBUFFERED
If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent
to specifying the -u option.
PYTHONVERBOSE
If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent
to specifying the -v option.
