-W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno\n\
also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg\n\
-x : skip first line of source, allowing use of non-Unix forms of #!cmd\n\
-X opt : set implementation-specific option\n\
-X opt : set implementation-specific option. The following options are available:\n\
\n\
-X faulthandler: enable faulthandler\n\
-X showrefcount: output the total reference count and number of used\n\
memory blocks when the program finishes or after each statement in the\n\
interactive interpreter. This only works on debug builds\n\
-X tracemalloc: start tracing Python memory allocations using the\n\
tracemalloc module. By default, only the most recent frame is stored in a\n\
traceback of a trace. Use -X tracemalloc=NFRAME to start tracing with a\n\
traceback limit of NFRAME frames\n\
-X showalloccount: output the total count of allocated objects for each\n\
type when the program finishes. This only works when Python was built with\n\
COUNT_ALLOCS defined\n\
-X importtime: show how long each import takes. It shows module name,\n\
cumulative time (including nested imports) and self time (excluding\n\
nested imports). Note that its output may be broken in multi-threaded\n\
application. Typical usage is python3 -X importtime -c 'import asyncio'\n\
-X dev: enable CPythons development mode, introducing additional runtime\n\
checks which are too expensive to be enabled by default. Effect of the\n\
developer mode:\n\
* Add default warning filter, as -W default\n\
* Install debug hooks on memory allocators: see the PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() C function\n\
* Enable the faulthandler module to dump the Python traceback on a crash\n\
* Enable asyncio debug mode\n\
* Set the dev_mode attribute of sys.flags to True\n\
* io.IOBase destructor logs close() exceptions\n\
-X utf8: enable UTF-8 mode for operating system interfaces, overriding the default\n\
locale-aware mode. -X utf8=0 explicitly disables UTF-8 mode (even when it would\n\
otherwise activate automatically)\n\
-X pycache_prefix=PATH: enable writing .pyc files to a parallel tree rooted at the\n\
given directory instead of to the code tree\n\
\n\
--check-hash-based-pycs always|default|never:\n\
control how Python invalidates hash-based .pyc files\n\
