basilisk provides a standardized mechanism for handling Python dependencies within Bioconductor packages. Functions are also provided to enable smooth interoperability of multiple Python environments in a single R session.
It does so by automatically provisioning and managing one or more Conda environments per BioC package, ensuring that the end-user is not burdened with the responsibility of meeting any Python-based SystemRequirements. The developers integrate with reticulate to allow intuitive calling of Python code within R, with additional protection to ensure that multiple Python environments can be called within the same R session.
This is free and open source software.
