How to supply options to the python interpreter when using iPython

For example, if I wanted to avoid generation of .pyc files when using the usual python command I would write:

python -B script.py

But what if I want to use ipython instead? All I know is that 

ipython -B script.py

doesn't work

Most of the command line options for the Python interpreter have equivalent environment variables. These will work when starting IPython.

For instance, instead of the -B flag, to avoid writing bytecode, you can use:

PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 ipython
