py-mnemonic

About

Py-mnemonic contains a Python script, pick.py, which will read an arbitrary number of words from a file containing a list of words. It also contains copies of Oren Tirosh's "mnemonic" word lists as examples.

Usage

For ease of use, it is recommended to symlink pick.py as pick to a folder on your $PATH. You can do this by entering the following at a shell prompt:

$ chmod u+x /path/to/py-mnemonic/pick.py
$ ln -s /path/to/py-mnemonic/pick.py /usr/local/bin/pick

You can use the command with the following options:

• -a or --all: will return the complete list.
• -l X or --letter X will return a random word from the list starting with the letter X.
• -n X or --number X will return X number of random words.
• -p X or --password X will return a strong, easy-to-communicate password, comprised of X random words and separated by dashes. (To promote good password security, it will not produce a password of fewer than 3 words.)
