# @ TODO Thoughts:
# ----------------
# Install to /usr/local/bin/hlp, otherwise probably:
#   I don't think it should be here, it's just a removable CLI tool
#
# For PIP Package: Install to ~/.local/lib/python2.X/sites-packages
#   I don't think it needs to be PIP
#
# For Friendly Use:
# ln -s /where-its-located/cmd_help.py /local/usr/bin/cmd_help
# or
# ln -s /where-its-located/cmd_help.py /local/usr/bin/hlp
# or
# .bashrc alias hlp='/location/cmd_help.py $1 $2' but then it's limited
#   to two args if it's upgraded.
