The python compiler
nuitka-run [\,options\/] \,main_module.py\/
--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.
--nofreeze-stdlib
In standalone mode by default all modules of standard library will be frozen as bytecode. As a result compilation time will increase very much.
--python-version=\,PYTHON_VERSION\/
Major version of Python to be used, one of '2.6', '2.7', '3.2', '3.3', or '3.4'. Defaults to what you run Nuitka with.
--python-debug, --python-dbg
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), "static_hashes" (not use Randomization), "no_warnings" (do not give Python runtime warnings). Default empty.
--warn-implicit-exceptions
Given warnings for implicit exceptions detected at compile time.
--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.
--run, --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-xml, --xml
Dump the final result of optimization as XML, then exit.
--display-tree
Display the final result of optimization in a GUI, then exit.
--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-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
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.
--clang
Enforce the use of clang (needs clang 3.2 or higher). Defaults to off.
--mingw
Enforce the use of MinGW on Windows. Defaults to off.
--msvc=\,MSVC\/
Enforce the use of specific MSVC version on Windows. Allowed values are e.g. 9.0, 9.0exp, specify an illegal value for a list of installed compilers. Defaults to the most recent version.
-j N, --jobs=\,N\/
Specify the allowed number of parallel C++ compiler jobs. Defaults to the system CPU count.
--lto
Use link time optimizations if available and usable (g++ 4.6 and higher). Defaults to off.
--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.
--windows-disable-console
When compiling for windows, disable the console window. Defaults to off.
--windows-icon=\,ICON_PATH\/, --icon=\,ICON_PATH\/
Add executable icon (windows only).
