You guys represent everything wrong with Github. Such a simple thing made impossible to use for casual users about khinsider

First of all, this guide is simple enough for casual users to learn and use on almost every platforms, since its just command lines.
It only takes only 5 mins to download and install python, 10 mins to learn about command lines, and another 5 mins to use the tool. If you think 20 minutes of your time does not worth 15$, then perhaps you should just go and donate to the site, it's way more simple and way faster than using something like this.

btw, since when does one's ability to learn become something could be proud of :d

I was gonna apologize because when I wrote this I was pretty frustrated: all I needed to do was add "py" on the command line before everything else to get it to work. It took me a bit less than an hour to figure this out. I know this is not really your fault per se, hence I apologize.

You answered in a snarky way which is fine given my initial behavior. However, I do believe my initial point still stands. You know tech illiterate people will be looking for your program. You know not everyone knows how to execute a Python command through the command line or whatever. You must be aware of who your target audience is, and what kind of people will be downloading this. You know all of this, and all I want to say is that if I had the ability to create a (relatively) simple program like yours, I'd explain everything like I'm talking to a grandma.

Thank you for your program.

Even though I got it to work, I will agree that this could be more user-friendly.
Accessibility matters when designing programs, but I will sympathize that accessibility in a program takes more to achieve.
Nonetheless, it does the job when it does work.

It's impossible to remove the .py extension without it not being recognized as a Python program. If you both would have calmly asked for help rather then ranting, you would have probably gotten an answer instead of having to figure it out yourself.

If this is really a problem, submit a PR with the tutorial you would like, and maybe it'll get accepted.

You really represent what's wrong with GitHub: developers getting attacked because people don't understand the program. Seriously, it's fine to not know how to run a Python program, it's not fine to blame the developer of the program for not saying telling you.

I hope that you'll keep this in mind in the future
