Finished!You can also generates the names to terminal output by setting the filename tostdout. If you do so, make sure to set debug to False! This makes it easy to use the CLI as a way to send generated names to a program without using the Python API.Generate 5 names with the random method and output to terminal:$ pynamegen amt=5 method=random debug=False file=stdout

You can pipe the generated name to any command; this is just an example.$ pynamegen amt=1 method=classic debug=False file=stdout | cowsay
