display the version of the virtualenv package and it’s location, then exit

–with-traceback
on failure also display the stacktrace internals of virtualenv (default: False)

–app-data APP_DATA

–clear-app-data
start with empty app data folder (default: False)

-h, –help
show this help message and exit

verbosity:

verbosity = verbose - quiet, default INFO, mapping => CRITICAL=0, ERROR=1, WARNING=2, INFO=3, DEBUG=4, NOTSET=5

-v, –verbose
increase verbosity (default: 2)

-q, –quiet
decrease verbosity (default: 0)

–creator {builtin,cpython3-posix,venv}
create environment via (builtin = cpython3-posix) (default: builtin)

dest

–clear

–symlinks
try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks are not the default for the platform (default: True)

–copies, –always-copy
try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when symlinks are the default for the platform (default: False)

seeder:

seed packages install method (default: app-data)

–no-seed, –without-pip
do not install seed packages (default: False)

–download
pass to enable download of the latest pip, setuptools, and wheel from PyPI (default: False)

–no-download, –never-download
pass to disable download of the latest pip, setuptools, and wheel from PyPI (default: True)

–extra-search-dir d [d …]
a path containing wheels the seeder may also use beside bundled (can be set 1+ times) (default: [])

–pip version
pip version to install, bundle for bundled (default: latest)

–setuptools version
setuptools version to install, bundle for bundled (default: latest)
