[cfe-dev] What is the purpose of python wrappers for clang tools binaries?

[Tom Stellard via cfe-dev]

Hi,

In both the clang and clang-tools-extra repositories, there are python wrappers
(e.g. clang-format.py, run-clang-tidy.py, etc.) for the various tools.  What is the
advantage of using these scripts over running the executables directly?

Thanks,
Tom
