You need to provide the exact name of the class (in this case Hello, not ~/Hello) and it has to have a path relative to the specified path that matches the class name.

python Krakatau/decompile.py -path ~ hello.class

Would likely do what you intended, though I don't have a Linux box to test at the moment.

arguments become complicated and hard to decompile single class file without any limitations. Anyway it works :) Thank you.

The command line interface for decompiling raw classfiles is pretty ugly. I'm not sure what the best thing to do there is. But in practice, I've found that you normally want to decompile an entire jar, which is much easier.

Yep, but it would be better to provide a general interface :D

I'm planning to support decompilation of lone classfiles in the v2 decompiler (if I ever manage to write that), so I'm going to go ahead and close this now.
