.. _Jython: http://jython.org
.. cmdoption:: -U
Turns all string literals into unicodes globally. Do not be tempted to use
this option as it will probably break your world. It also produces
``.pyc`` files with a different magic number than normal. Instead, you can
enable unicode literals on a per-module basis by using::
from __future__ import unicode_literals
at the top of the file. See :mod:`__future__` for details.
.. cmdoption:: -X
Reserved for alternative implementations of Python to use for their own
purposes.
