NAME

       pypy - fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language

SYNOPSIS

       pypy [options] [-c cmd|-m mod|file.py|-] [arg...]

OPTIONS

       -i     Inspect interactively after running script.

       -O     Skip assert statements.

       -OO    Remove docstrings when importing modules in addition to -O.

       -c CMD Program passed in as CMD (terminates option list).

       -S     Do not import site on initialization.

       -s     Don't add the user site directory to sys.path.

       -u     Unbuffered binary stdout and stderr.

       -h, --help
              Show a help message and exit.

       -m MOD Library module to be run as a script (terminates option list).

       -W ARG Warning control (arg is action:message:category:module:lineno).

       -E     Ignore environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH).

       -B     Disable writing bytecode (.pyc) files.

       --version
              Print the PyPy version.

       --info Print translation information about this PyPy executable.

       --jit ARG
              Low level JIT parameters.  Mostly internal.  Run --jit help for more information.

ENVIRONMENT

       PYTHONPATH
              Add directories to pypy's module search path.  The format is the same as shell's PATH.

       PYTHONSTARTUP
              A  script  referenced  by  this variable will be executed before the first prompt is displayed, in
              interactive mode.

       PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE
              If set to a non-empty value, equivalent to the -B option.  Disable writing .pyc files.

       PYTHONINSPECT
              If set to a non-empty value, equivalent to the -i option.  Inspect interactively after running the
              specified script.

       PYTHONIOENCODING
              If  this  is  set,  it  overrides  the  encoding  used  for  stdin/stdout/stderr.   The  syntax is
              encodingname:errorhandler The errorhandler part is  optional  and  has  the  same  meaning  as  in
              str.encode.

       PYTHONNOUSERSITE
              If  set  to  a non-empty value, equivalent to the -s option.  Don't add the user site directory to
              sys.path.

       PYTHONWARNINGS
              If set, equivalent to the -W option (warning control).  The value should be a comma-separated list
              of -W parameters.

       PYPYLOG
              If set to a non-empty value, enable logging, the format is:

              fname or +fname
                     logging  for profiling: includes all debug_start/debug_stop but not any nested debug_print.
                     fname can be - to log to stderr.  The +fname form can be used if there is a : in fname

              :fname Full logging, including debug_print.

              prefix:fname
                     Conditional logging.  Multiple prefixes can be specified, comma-separated.   Only  sections
                     whose name match the prefix will be logged.

              PYPYLOG=jit-log-opt,jit-backend:logfile  will  generate  a  log suitable for jitviewer, a tool for
              debugging performance issues under PyPy.

       PYPY_IRC_TOPIC
              If set to a non-empty value, print a random #pypy IRC topic at startup of interactive mode.

       PyPy's default incminimark garbage collector is configurable through several environment variables:

       PYPY_GC_NURSERY
              The nursery size.  Defaults to 1/2 of your cache or 4M.  Small values (like 1 or 1KB)  are  useful
              for debugging.

       PYPY_GC_NURSERY_CLEANUP
              The interval at which nursery is cleaned up. Must be smaller than the nursery size and bigger than
              the biggest object we can allotate in the nursery.

       PYPY_GC_INCREMENT_STEP
              The size of memory marked during the marking step.  Default is size of nursery  times  2.  If  you
              mark  it  too  high  your  GC is not incremental at all.  The minimum is set to size that survives
              minor collection times 1.5 so we reclaim anything all the time.

       PYPY_GC_MAJOR_COLLECT
              Major collection memory factor.  Default is 1.82, which means trigger a major collection when  the
              memory  consumed  equals  1.82  times  the  memory  really  used  at the end of the previous major
              collection.

       PYPY_GC_GROWTH
              Major collection threshold's max growth rate.  Default is 1.4.  Useful to collect more often  than
              normally on sudden memory growth, e.g. when there is a temporary peak in memory usage.

       PYPY_GC_MAX
              The  max  heap  size.   If coming near this limit, it will first collect more often, then raise an
              RPython MemoryError, and if that is not enough, crash the program with a fatal error.  Try  values
              like 1.6GB.

       PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA
              The  major collection threshold will never be set to more than PYPY_GC_MAX_DELTA the amount really
              used after a collection.  Defaults to 1/8th of the total RAM size (which is constrained to  be  at
              most 2/3/4GB on 32-bit systems).  Try values like 200MB.

       PYPY_GC_MIN
              Don't collect while the memory size is below this limit.  Useful to avoid spending all the time in
              the GC in very small programs.  Defaults to 8 times the nursery.

       PYPY_GC_DEBUG
              Enable extra checks around collections that are too slow for normal use.  Values are  0  (off),  1
              (on major collections) or 2 (also on minor collections).
