NAME

fail2ban-python − a helper for Fail2Ban to assure that the same Python is used

DESCRIPTION

usage: fail2ban−python [option] ... [−c cmd | −m mod | file | −] [arg] ... Options (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 .pyc files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x −c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list) −d : turn on parser debugging output (for experts only, only works on

debug builds); also PYTHONDEBUG=x

−E : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH) −h : print this help message and exit (also −? or −−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 −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 stdout and stderr streams to be unbuffered;

this option has no effect on stdin; 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)

when given twice, print more information about the build

−W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno

also PYTHONWARNINGS=arg

−x : skip first line of source, allowing use of non−Unix forms of #!cmd −X opt : set implementation−specific option −−check−hash−based−pycs always|default|never:

control how Python invalidates hash−based .pyc files

−−help−env : print help about Python environment variables and exit −−help−xoptions : print help about implementation−specific −X options and exit −−help−all : print complete help information and exit Arguments: 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:]
