Python API: sam v8_1_5
sam.convert_v5_metadata()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'sam convert v5 metadata'.
Command Description:

Given metadata in the v5 format, convert it to the v6 format.

If the --outputFile option is present, the file will contain all of
the required import statements, etc., such that this descriptionFile will be
valid and useable in subsequent commands.  If no --outputFile is specified,
the import statements will NOT be printed to the screen.


Python Usage:
	from Sam import sam
	result = sam.convert_v5_metadata(...)

Return value: SamFile.SamDataFile.SamDataFile

Arguments are passed as keyword-value pairs, as in:
	 myfunc(arg1='myarg', arg2='anotherarg', d=1)

Argument Keyword Description:
	(*) indicates that this keyword is required
	>>> indicates that either the API object or the CLI equivalent (<<<) is required
