Abstract: basilisk is an R/Bioconductor package for managing Python environments within the Bioconductor package ecosystem.Developers of other Bioconductor packages can use basilisk to automatically provision and load custom Python environments, providing a streamlined experience for their end-users by avoiding the need for any manual system configuration.basilisk also enables robust execution of Python code via reticulate in complex analysis workflows involving multiple Python environments.This package aims to provide a standardized mechanism for integration of Python functionality into the Bioconductor code base.
