Sounds like a good idea. I'd be interested in this, because it would make debugging user installation problems easier.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the option character "-I". It reminds me too much of the -I typically used for include paths in C compilers :-)
I'm open to suggestions for a better name and character. Michael also pointed out that capital i (india) can look like a lower case l (lima). -R is still unused. I hesitate to call it restricted mode because it can be confused with PyPy's restricted Python.
BTW: In order to have Python applications respect this flag, there should be an easy way to access this flag in Python programs, e.g. sys.ignore_user_env.
Of course! I assumed that I don't have to spell it out explicitly. A new CLI option will be accompanied with a new sys.flags attribute like sys.flags.isolated_mode. Christian
