Research direction

Start in main.py at line 269 and inspect how pydecipher defines and parses command-line arguments. Reproduce the reported --decompile_all error, then verify that -decompile_all or --decompile_all is accepted and that the command decompiles all pyc files as expected.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Expectation: -decompile_all or --decompile_all is used as an argument with pydecipher and all pyc files are decompiled

Result: pydecipher: error: unrecognized arguments: --decompile_all

It's referenced on line 269 I'm not super savvy on why it's ignored at least on Windows but for right now you basically have to comment it out if you want to use this functionality.
