Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
For current nf-core modules. We store a script inside the path modules/nf-core/module_name/templates.
If one wants to run a process with this script, some implementations do for example:
script:
template "template_name.py"
Describe the solution you'd like
I wonder why don’t we just do:
script:
template_name.py $input --arg1 $arg1 --ext.args
Is this not recommended? Why? Maybe some more information about how to do this properly?
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Review the template scripts under modules/nf-core/module_name/templates and the documented examples using template "template_name.py". Determine whether invoking template_name.py directly with arguments is supported or recommended, then document the correct usage and rationale for nf-core module authors.
