Could you please try to run the commands exactly as described in readme? For example, that's what I see (I replaced cow.py with main.py to match your naming):

python3 main.py Grass, delicious.
usage: main.py [-h] {beavis,cheese,cow,daemon,dragon,fox,ghostbusters,kitty,meow,miki,milk,octopus,pig,stegosaurus,stimpy,trex,turkey,turtle,tux} message
main.py: error: argument animal: invalid choice: 'Grass,' (choose from 'beavis', 'cheese', 'cow', 'daemon', 'dragon', 'fox', 'ghostbusters', 'kitty', 'meow', 'miki', 'milk', 'octopus', 'pig', 'stegosaurus', 'stimpy', 'trex', 'turkey', 'turtle', 'tux')

You may want to check nargs for the message arg :) https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#nargs

You can also check on positional arguments : https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html (animal should be specified via --animal)

Let me know if you have any questions!

arg = parser.parse_args()

animal_func = getattr(cowsay, arg.animal)
print(animal_func(arg.message))
