       pex - pex

SYNOPSIS

       pex [-o OUTPUT.PEX] [options] [-- arg1 arg2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pex  builds  a  PEX  (Python  Executable) file based on the given specifications: sources,
       requirements, their dependencies and other options.

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -o PEX_NAME, --output-file=PEX_NAME
              The name of the generated .pex file: Omiting this will run PEX immediately and  not
              save it to a file.

       -r FILE, --requirement=FILE
              Add  requirements  from  the  given  requirements  file.   This  option can be used
              multiple times.

       -v     Turn on logging verbosity, may be specified multiple times.

       --pex-root=PEX_ROOT
              Specify the pex root used in this invocation of pex.  [Default: ~/.pex]

       --help-variables
              Print out help about the various environment variables used to change the  behavior
              of a running PEX file.

              Resolver options:

              Tailor  how  to  find, resolve and translate the packages that get put into the PEX
              environment.

       --pypi, --no-pypi, --no-index
              Whether to use pypi to resolve dependencies; Default: use pypi

       -f PATH/URL, --find-links=PATH/URL, --repo=PATH/URL
              Additional repository path (directory or URL) to look for requirements.

       -i URL, --index=URL, --index-url=URL
              Additional cheeseshop indices to use to satisfy requirements.

       --disable-cache
              Disable caching in the pex tool entirely.

       --cache-dir=CACHE_DIR
              The local cache directory to use for speeding  up  requirement  lookups.  [Default:
              ~/.pex/build]

       --cache-ttl=CACHE_TTL
              The cache TTL to use for inexact requirement specifications.

       --wheel, --no-wheel, --no-use-wheel
              Whether to allow wheel distributions; Default: allow wheels

       --build, --no-build
              Whether to allow building of distributions from source; Default: allow builds

              PEX output options:

              Tailor the behavior of the emitted .pex file if -o is specified.

       --zip-safe, --not-zip-safe
              Whether or not the sources in the pex file are zip safe.  If they are not zip safe,
              they will be written to disk prior to execution; Default: zip safe.

       --always-write-cache
              Always write the internally cached distributions to disk prior to invoking the  pex
              source  code.  This can use less memory in RAM constrained environments.  [Default:
              False]

       --ignore-errors
              Ignore run-time requirement resolution errors  when  invoking  the  pex.  [Default:
              False]

       --inherit-path
              Inherit  the  contents  of  sys.path  (including  sitepackages)  running  the  pex.
              [Default: False]

              PEX environment options:

              Tailor the interpreter and platform targets for the PEX environment.

       --python=PYTHON
              The Python interpreter to use to build the pex.  Either specify an explicit path to
              an  interpreter,  or  specify  a  binary  accessible on $PATH. Default: Use current
              interpreter.

       --python-shebang=PYTHON_SHEBANG
              The exact shebang (#!...) line to add at the top of the  PEX  file  minus  the  #!.
              This  overrides the default behavior, which picks an environment python interpreter
              compatible with the one used to build the PEX file.

       --platform=PLATFORM
              The platform for which to build the PEX.  Default: linux-x86_64

       --interpreter-cache-dir=INTERPRETER_CACHE_DIR
              The interpreter cache to use for keeping track of interpreter dependencies for  the
              pex tool. [Default: ~/.pex/interpreters]

              PEX entry point options:

              Specify what target/module the PEX should invoke if any.

       -m MODULE[:SYMBOL], -e MODULE[:SYMBOL], --entry-point=MODULE[:SYMBOL]
              Set  the  entry  point  to module or module:symbol.  If just specifying module, pex
              behaves  like  python  -m,  e.g.  python  -m   SimpleHTTPServer.    If   specifying
              module:symbol, pex imports that symbol and invokes it as if it were main.

       -c SCRIPT_NAME, --script=SCRIPT_NAME, --console-script=SCRIPT_NAME
              Set  the  entry point as to the script or console_script as defined by a any of the
              distributions in the pex.  For example: "pex -c fab fabric" or "pex -c mturk boto".
