NAME

       nuitka-run - the Python compiler

SYNOPSIS

       nuitka-run [options] main_module.py

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

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

       --module
              Create an extension module executable instead of a program. Defaults to off.

       --standalone, --portable
              Enable  standalone mode in build. This allows you to transfer the created binary to other machines
              without it relying on an existing Python installation. It implies  these  options:  "--recurse-all
              --recursestdlib". Defaults to off.

       --python-version=PYTHON_VERSION
              Major version of Python to be used, one of '2.6', '2.7', '3.2', or '3.3'.

       --python-debug
              Use  debug  version or not. Default uses what you are using to run Nuitka, most likely a non-debug
              version.

       --python-flag=PYTHON_FLAGS
              Python flags to use. Default uses what you are using to run Nuitka, this enforces a specific mode.
              These  are  options that also exist to standard Python executable. Currently supported "-S" (alias
              nosite).  Default empty.

       --windows-disable-console
              When compiling for windows, disable the console window. Defaults to off.

       --lto  Use link time optimizations if available and usable (g++ 4.6 and higher). Defaults to off.

       --clang
              Enforce the use of clang (clang 3.0 or higher).  Defaults to off.

       --mingw
              Enforce the use of MinGW on Windows. Defaults to off.

       -j N, --jobs=N
              Specify the allowed number of parallel C++ compiler jobs. Defaults to the system CPU count.

       --warn-implicit-exceptions
              Given warnings for implicit exceptions detected at compile time.

       --icon=ICON_PATH
              Add executable icon (windows only).

   Control the recursion into imported modules:

       --recurse-stdlib
              Also descend into imported modules from standard library. Defaults to off.

       --recurse-none
              When --recurse-none is used, do not descend into any imported modules at all, overrides all  other
              recursion options. Defaults to off.

       --recurse-all, --recurse-on
              When --recurse-all is used, attempt to descend into all imported modules. Defaults to off.

       --recurse-to=MODULE/PACKAGE
              Recurse  to  that  module,  or  if  a  package, to the whole package. Can be given multiple times.
              Default empty.

       --recurse-not-to=MODULE/PACKAGE
              Do not recurse to that module, or if a package, to the whole package in any  case,  overrides  all
              other options. Can be given multiple times. Default empty.

       --recurse-plugins=MODULE/PACKAGE, --recurse-directory=MODULE/PACKAGE
              Recurse  into  that directory, no matter if it's used by the given main program in a visible form.
              Overrides all other options. Can be given multiple times.  Default empty.

   Immediate execution after compilation:

       --execute
              Execute immediately the created binary (or import the compiled module). Defaults to on.

       --execute-with-pythonpath, --keep-pythonpath
              When immediately executing the created  binary  (--execute),  don't  reset  PYTHONPATH.  When  all
              modules are successfully included, you ought to not need PYTHONPATH anymore.

   Dump options for internal tree:

       --dump-xml
              Dump the final result of optimization as XML, then exit.

       --dump-tree
              Dump the final result of optimization as text, then exit.

       --display-tree
              Display the final result of optimization in a GUI, then exit.

   Code generation choices:

       --improved, --enhanced
              Allow  minor  devitations  from  CPython  behaviour, e.g.  better tracebacks, which are not really
              incompatible, but different.

       --code-gen-no-statement-lines
              Statements shall have their line numbers  set.  Disable  this  for  less  precise  exceptions  and
              slightly faster code. Not recommended. Defaults to off.

   Output directory choices:

       --output-dir=DIRECTORY
              Specify  where intermediate and final output files should be put. DIRECTORY will be populated with
              C++ files, object files, etc. Defaults to current directory.

       --remove-output
              Removes the build directory after producing the module or exe file. Defaults to off.

   Debug features:

       --debug
              Executing all self checks possible to find errors in Nuitka, do not use for  production.  Defaults
              to off.

       --unstripped, --no-strip, --unstriped
              Keep debug info in the resulting object file for better gdb interaction. Defaults to off.

       --trace-execution
              Traced execution output, output the line of code before executing it. Defaults to off.

       --c++-only
              Compile  the  would-be  regenerated  source  file.  Allows compiling edited C++ files with the C++
              compiler for quick debugging changes to the generated source.  Defaults to off.

       --experimental
              Use features declared as 'experimental'. May have  no  effect  if  no  experimental  features  are
              present in the code. Defaults to off.

   Tracing features:

       --show-scons
              Operate Scons in non-quiet mode, showing the executed commands. Defaults to off.

       --show-progress
              Provide progress information and statistics. Defaults to off.

       --show-modules
              Provide a final summary on included modules. Defaults to off.

       --verbose
              Output details of actions take, esp. in optimizations.  Can become a lot. Defaults to off.
