So I've been working on this about a month or two ago, because I wanted a different way to convert ROMs to the CIA format for those who didn't want to use Wine or wanted something with source code. This is probably mostly replaced by ticket/titlekey/CDN stuff, but I figured it'd still be useful.
Here is 3dsconv.py, a Python script intended for "advanced users" that allows you to convert Nintendo 3DS ROMs to CIAs entirely from the terminal, quickly and easily.

Please read the README and command output for more information.
The only requirements are Python 3 in your PATH. pyaes needed for encryption. On Windows, the provided 3dsconv.exe can be used without Python or pyres.
It was mainly designed to be put in your PATH so you can run it like any other command from anywhere, or to use in own scripts for automation or other purposes.
Some of the features include...
All releases: https://github.com/ihaveamac/3dsconv/releases
Please report bugs, requests, and other issues on GitHub or this thread. Include your operating system and game you converted (and if it was built using something like 3DS Builder).
