Running fips outside any "fipsified" project folder results in an error

See original GitHub issue

Environment: Windows 10, Python 3.7 According to fips documentation, to test if fips works and it is properly installed one needs to “Invoke the fips main script by running ‘./fips’ from within the fips directory”. On Windows, run ‘fips’ instead of ‘./fips’. Doing so it always results in an error:

C:\Python37\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'fips

even if I run with ‘help’ argument:

fips help

This doesn’t happen when fips is run from a “fipsified” project. I think some error message should be displayed if fips is being run anywhere else. This seems like an issue.

Yes, an error message would make sense. I’m not sure yet if it’s possible to do centrally in the fips repository without changing the “frontend” mini-fips-script in actual projects, but I’ll write a ticket for that.
