pw.py

#! python3

#******************************************************
#An insecure password locker/manager program written using Python.

#Provided Python is installed and the two files are in the same folder and in the "system PATH" on Windows, the script can be run by pressing WIN+R on Windows and typing:
#pw account_name
#If the account_name exists, then the password will be copied to clipboard and a relevent message will be displayed.

#Of course the dictionary used in the script may be modified to store passwords of more user accounts and can be accessed in the same way.

#I will be porting this project to Linux as soon as I can to learn how things can be done there, and will update the instructions.

#On Linux, for convenience, pw.py should be in the /home/username folder, also the shebang line
#need to be changed to proper format. Then the file's permission must be changed to make it executable.
#Then the script can be run.

#Note: There might be a "Pyperclip could not find a copy/paste mechanism for your system" message. To solve this, xclip or xsel needs to be installed by typing:
#sudo apt-get install xsel utility
