       -I, --include-dir <directory>
	      Search for include files in named directory (multiple include directories are allowed).

       -o, --output-file <filename>
	      Specify name of generated C file

       -t, --timestamps
	      Only compile newer source files

       -f, --force
	      Compile all source files (overrides implied -t)

       -q, --quiet

	      Output a C++ rather than C file.

       --embed[=<method_name>]
	      Generate a main() function that embeds the Python interpreter.

       -2     Compile based on Python-2 syntax and code semantics.

       -3     Compile based on Python-3 syntax and code semantics.

       --fast-fail
	      Abort the compilation on the first error

       --warning-error, -Werror
