Note: this is a cross post with this post on SO.I am trying to build a command line wrapper in Python 3 for an exiting command line tool called 'spooky' and I am having a hard time understanding some strange behavior. If I type spooky on the command line, it brings up the man page for spooky. If I enter the path to the spooky tool (/path/to/spooky) on the command line it also brings up the man page for spooky. I can run the spooky program successfully if I place spooky in my path and then enter the required arguments like this:`$ spooky -a 50 -b .97`However, if I do not put spooky in my path and type the following the command it will not run.`$ /path/to/spooky -a 50 -b .97`Why won't this program run when I enter the program's path and then the required arguments? Thanks for the help!
