Jim, make

#!/usr/bin/env python3

the very first line in your myscript.py file
and change it's permissions with the following command:

chmod 775 myscript.py

Then you'll be able to run it simply by entering

./password.py

on the command line.

PS I don't think this will fix your current problem which is
probably the result of importing something that exists with
Python 2 but not 3- specifically PythonCard.
