Personally I don't put it in my path but I'm used to supply the path or work from the run directory (so "./john"). Having to use three different paths will be a nuisance, at least to me.

I've quickly put together a bash script (attached) which uses find to
locate a program supplied as the first argument and then executes it
with the second argument supplied to the script. It's really trivial,
but it works.
$ ./john_expose netscreen.py "SmilingWolf passwd"
