Hello!

I am trying to convert a CSV file I made (a tiny dictionary consisting of words and phrases for a specific book series) into a dictionary, and I'm struggling.

Here are the steps I took:

- downloaded Cygwin and installed
- downloaded Python 2.7.17 and installed. Tested from both Cygwin and command prompt, I can use python
-downloaded and installed pip. I can only use pip from command prompt, so will use command prompt moving forward
- using command prompt (run as Administrator), I installed penelope using: pip install penelope

So, to test whether or not it worked, I tried using 'penelope -h" and 'python penelope -h', but neither are working.

What am I doing wrong?
