usage: /usr/bin/pypy [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables):
-b : issue warnings about str(bytes_instance), str(bytearray_instance)
and comparing bytes/bytearray with str. (-bb: issue errors)
-B : don't write .py[co] files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x
-c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list)
-d : debug output from parser; also PYTHONDEBUG=x
-E : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH)
-h : print this help message and exit (also --help)
-i : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
-I : isolate Python from the user's environment (implies -E and -s)
-m mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list)
-O : remove assert and __debug__-dependent statements; add .opt-1 before
.pyc extension; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x
-OO : do -O changes and also discard docstrings; add .opt-2 before
.pyc extension
-P : don't prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path; also
PYTHONSAFEPATH
-q : don't print version and copyright messages on interactive startup
-s : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE
-S : don't imply 'import site' on initialization
-u : force the binary I/O layers of stdout and stderr to be unbuffered.
stdin is always buffered. the text I/O layer will still be
line-buffered. see also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x
-v : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
-V : print the Python version number and exit (also --version)
-W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno
also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg
-X opt : set implementation-specific option. The following options are available:
(the CPython "showrefcount", "tracemalloc", "showalloccount", and
"importtime" options are not available)
-X faulthandler: enable faulthandler
-X dev: enable PyPy's "development mode", introducing additional runtime
checks which are too expensive to be enabled by default. Effect of the
developer mode:
* Add default warning filter, as -W default
* Enable the faulthandler module to dump the Python traceback on a crash
* Enable asyncio debug mode
* Set the dev_mode attribute of sys.flags to True
-X utf8: enable UTF-8 mode for operating system interfaces, overriding the default
locale-aware mode. -X utf8=0 explicitly disables UTF-8 mode (even when it would
otherwise activate automatically)
-X pycache_prefix=PATH: enable writing .pyc files to a parallel tree rooted at the
given directory instead of to the code tree
-X jit-off: turn the JIT off, equivalent to --jit off
-X int_max_str_digits=number: limit the size of int<->str conversions.
This helps avoid denial of service attacks when parsing untrusted data.
The default is sys.int_info.default_max_str_digits. 0 disables.
-X disable-remote-debug: disable the remote debugging interface
--check-hash-based-pycs always|default|never:
control how Python invalidates hash-based .pyc files
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:]
PyPy options and arguments:
--info : print translation information about this PyPy executable
--jit options: advanced JIT options: try 'off' or 'help'
Other environment variables:
PYTHONSTARTUP: file executed on interactive startup (no default)
PYTHONPATH : ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the
default module search path. The result is sys.path.
PYTHONPLATLIBDIR : override sys.platlibdir.
PYTHONCASEOK : ignore case in 'import' statements (Windows).
PYTHONIOENCODING: Encoding[:errors] used for stdin/stdout/stderr.
PYTHONFAULTHANDLER: dump the Python traceback on fatal errors.
PYTHONDEVMODE: enable the development mode.
PYTHONINTMAXSTRDIGITS: limits the maximum digit characters in an int value
when converting from a string and when converting an int back to a str.
A value of 0 disables the limit. Conversions to or from bases 2, 4, 8,
16, and 32 are never limited.
PYPY_IRC_TOPIC: if set to a non-empty value, print a random #pypy IRC
topic at startup of interactive mode.
PYPYLOG: If set to a non-empty value, enable logging.
PYPY_DISABLE_JIT: if set to a non-empty value, disable JIT.
PYTHON_DISABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG: if set to a non-empty value, disable the remote debugging interface

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
