Dear, A few months ago we proposed a wrapper generator, we are now at a point where we can present our idea as a working prototype. The wrapper generator is not specific for Galaxy, in principle any target can be used, but since Galaxy is our most prominent use case at the moment, we already

Hi Jeroen, The idea of having a tool to automatically generate Galaxy wrappers is attractive, and in some cases, possible. For example, I know that the tools in QIIME (http://qiime.sourceforge.net/) use some sort of argument declaration and a Python module to read it and deal with the
