I forgot one other thing...

-----------------
def makelgpwdcombs(brutelistname):
     try:
	blst = open(brutelistname, 'r')
     except:
	print("[-] Invalid file name or insufficient priviliges")--


Don't use a bare except here./ catch the specific errror(s) you expect 
to get. In this case its probably IOError...

Then any unexpected errors will generate a stacktrace and not a 
confusing (and wrong) error message
