Currently, I have to type /xkcdpwgen.py -h in order to get the following
usage: xkcdpwgen [-h] [-w WORDS] [-c CAPS] [-n NUMBERS] [-s SYMBOLS]
Generate a secure, memorable password using the XKCD method
optional arguments: -h, –help show this help message and exit -w WORDS, –words WORDS include WORDS words in the password (default=4) -c CAPS, –caps CAPS capitalize the first letter of CAPS random words (default=0) -n NUMBERS, –numbers NUMBERS insert NUMBERS random numbers in the password (default=0) -s SYMBOLS, –symbols SYMBOLS insert SYMBOLS random symbols in the password (default=0)
But, I want to be able to type /xkcdpwgen -h and get the following
usage: xkcdpwgen.py [-h] [-w WORDS] [-c CAPS] [-n NUMBERS] [-s SYMBOLS]
Generate a secure, memorable password using the XKCD method
optional arguments: -h, –help show this help message and exit -w WORDS, –words WORDS include WORDS words in the password (default=4) -c CAPS, –caps CAPS capitalize the first letter of CAPS random words (default=0) -n NUMBERS, –numbers NUMBERS insert NUMBERS random numbers in the password (default=0) -s SYMBOLS, –symbols SYMBOLS insert SYMBOLS random symbols in the password (default=0)
Instead, I get the following
bash: ./xkcdpwgen: No such file or directory

You can name it whatever you’d like; as long as the she-bang line (e.g. #!/bin/python) is good, then the file will run.
$ mv xkcdpwgen.py xkcdpwgen $ ./xkcdpwgen -h
