Dear list,
just a question for advice: I plan to wrap a python script (with lots of options) which uses the argparse library. I was wondering if somebody has an idea to generate the tool xml (semi-)automatically? For instance, by subclassing the formatter, parsing the python code, or parsing the command line...
Cheers, Matthias

Hey Matthias,
And let me know if you have any questions or bugs!
There are a couple of things it won't do, but if you're looking to get 90% of the way from python script to tool interface, it will do that. It won't get you the last 10% of nice repeat blocks and sections and all of the things that help make galaxy tools more user-friendly. But this can still be a huge time savings

Hi Helena,
got it running, but I struggling with subparsers (the tools that I try to wrap basically only uses subparsers .. a lot of them). I adapted the example.py in your repo to include a subparser which seems to be excluded from the xml.
I call `python example.py --generate_galaxy_xml`
since `python example.py sub --generate_galaxy_xml` seems not to work.
Any suggestions?
Best, Matthias

Yeah, I never implemented support for subparsers. What sort of XML would you expect that to output? I think, to me, it feels like it should output multiple tool XMLs, one for each subparser.
Any suggestions?

Hi Helena,
yep, separate xml files would be fine. I was first thinking about a single xml file having a select in the begin that allows to choose which of the functionalities to use (eg one option per subparser). But I guess the xml file might become quite large and unhandy.
Cheers, Matthias

I've published version 0.4.4 which should fix that. Please upgrade and let me know.
For now all of the output will be in a single (invalid, no single root element) XML file that will have multiple tools concatenated together.

Hi Helena,
Thanks for your efforts.
Seems to work (somehow it worked only after resetting my venv).
I also tested it for the tool I want to wrap :)
Just an idea: making
`python examples/example-sub.py foo --generate_galaxy_xml` `python examples/example-sub.py bar --generate_galaxy_xml` ...
work, could be handy to create xml files for each subparser.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
Best, Matthias
