.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-platform <platform>
Only use wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform of the running system. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple platforms supported by the target interpreter.
.sp
(environment variable: \fBPIP_PLATFORM\fP)
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-python\-version <python_version>
The Python interpreter version to use for wheel and \(dqRequires\-Python\(dq
compatibility checks. Defaults to a version derived from the running
interpreter. The version can be specified using up to three dot\-separated
integers (e.g. \(dq3\(dq for 3.0.0, \(dq3.7\(dq for 3.7.0, or \(dq3.7.3\(dq). A major\-minor
version can also be given as a string without dots (e.g. \(dq37\(dq for 3.7.0).
.sp
(environment variable: \fBPIP_PYTHON_VERSION\fP)
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-implementation <implementation>
Only use wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. \(aqpp\(aq, \(aqjy\(aq, \(aqcp\(aq,  or \(aqip\(aq. If not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used.  Use \(aqpy\(aq to force implementation\-agnostic wheels.
.sp
(environment variable: \fBPIP_IMPLEMENTATION\fP)
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-abi <abi>
Only use wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. \(aqpypy_41\(aq. If not specified, then the current interpreter abi tag is used. Use this option multiple times to specify multiple abis supported by the target interpreter. Generally you will need to specify \-\-implementation, \-\-platform, and \-\-python\-version when using this option.
.sp
(environment variable: \fBPIP_ABI\fP)
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-ignore\-requires\-python
Ignore the Requires\-Python information.
.sp
(environment variable: \fBPIP_IGNORE_REQUIRES_PYTHON\fP)
