I'm not sure if I find empathy here, but my system is not made of rubber. If I'll install all the things I try (even in virtualenv), it will be a mess. That's pretty much why I use Python - that I can clone, review code, run, and hack on it, all without extra unneeded motions.

Let's try it here:

$ python3.7 -m dvrip.cmd
/usr/bin/python3.7: No module named dvrip.cmd.__main__; 'dvrip.cmd' is a package and cannot be directly executed

Oops. Following an observation in #5, looks like some contrast with depending on features which aren't available in default Python installed in many distro nowadays (3.5-3.6), and not having old good (by now) __main__.py.

Following patch allows to proceed further:
