Can you get the help to show the list of possible animals?

Thank you for your feedback. I’ve added a list of all cowsay animals to the help output so can see the available options.

args = parser.parse_args()

animals = cowsay.char_names
animal = args.animal.lower()
if animal not in animals:
print(f"Invalid animal. Supported animals are: {', '.join(animals)}")
exit(1)
cowsay.char_funcs[animal](args.text)

What happens if I give my arguments as plain text, without quotes?

Thanks for the feedback
I’ve updated the script to support multi-word text without quotes by using (nargs="+") for the text argument.
