Description
I often import cwltool as a python package and run it as a python script.
Here's an example:
```
from cwltool.main import run as run_cwltool
run_cwltool(
[wf_file_path]
stdout=stdout_file_path.open(mode="w"),
stderr=stderr_file_path.open(mode="w")
)
```
In this usage, when I run `--make-template wf_file_path`, I noticed that its result was dumped to `sys.stdout`.
```
run_cwltool(
["--make-template", wf_file_path]
stdout=stdout_file_path.open(mode="w"),
stderr=stderr_file_path.open(mode="w")
)
```
I think this part of the code is causing the problem. (It may not even be a problem because it's not supposed usage...)
