Lisalo (Linux Sampler Loader) https://github.com/nilsgey/lisalo has a standalone tool lisalosfzgenerator.py.
Notice the -o --out option which triggers permanent files instead of temporary files.


usage: lisalosfzgenerator.py [-h] [-o OUT] [-k KEY] [-r] [-w] [-p]
                             path [filetype [filetype ...]]

Creates temporary sfz files. Point to a directory of wave or ogg files and
you'll get the filename of an .sfz file in return. In case you want to use
this with Lisalo use the following syntax:
lisalo args "$(lisalosfzgenerator.py path/to/wavedir)" more lisalo args

positional arguments:
  path               A directory with waves and/or ogg files OR a single
                     wav/ogg file. Directory: Can include subdirs when used
                     with --recursive. You'll get a random .sfz in /tmp with
                     absolut paths to your samples. Single File: The file is
                     spread over all midi keys. The -k parameter defines the
                     center.
  filetype           Optional: Which file types can be included. Can be 'wav',
                     'ogg' to only choose one. Don't use to choose both.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -o OUT, --out OUT  Out file name. Out file triggers relative path mode for a
                     persistent sfz file with. Default: No name, generates a
                     random named .sfz in /tmp with absolute paths to your
                     samples.
  -k KEY, --key KEY  Midi key offset. Start mapping from this number. Default:
                     60 (middle C)
  -r, --recursive    Crawl the given sample directory recursively. Default:
                     Off
  -w, --white        Only use white keys instead of every key. Only works in
                     directory mode. Default: Off
  -p, --percussive   Play the whole sample once, even if you release the key
                     or hold it longer than the sample is. Default: Off
