Useful tools
============

To use scriptcwl for creating CWL workflows, you need CWL ``CommandLineTools``.
There are some software packages that help with generating those.

* `argparse2tool <https://github.com/erasche/argparse2tool#cwl-specific-functionality>`_: Generate CWL ``CommandLineTool`` wrappers (and/or Galaxy tool descriptions) from Python programs that use argparse. Also supports the `click <http://click.pocoo.org>`_ argument parser
* `pypi2cwl <https://github.com/common-workflow-language/pypi2cwl>`_: Automatically run argparse2cwl on any package in PyPi
* `python-cwlgen <https://github.com/common-workflow-language/python-cwlgen>`_: Generate CommandLineTool and DockerRequirement programmatically
