It's all three. The source module is the .py file. The .pyc and .pyo
are compiled and optimized compiled files respectively. Python manages
these transparently, recompiling if necessary if the source is newer.

In your case, the exact command is

withlist -l -r fix_url dragonite

i.e., just the list's name, not the path or the config.pick.

Note that if you just run 'fix_url.py' it will give some detail about
its usage.

This error is because the command you gave was

withlist -l -r fix_url.py ...

rather than

withlist -l -r fix_url ...

Run 'bin/fix_url.py' and 'bin/withlist --help' for more details.
