I had a similar thought. I am also friends with the author of it. They are doing 'The Right Thing' there for _their_ purposes at BioC in abstracting OSs away and offering 'Python as a Service' for all setups. We have a much more controlled setup and _maybe_ we could splice in a 'basilisk-lite' not requiring conda and all that crap. Would be worth a shot, but is almost a new research project. I don't have time to dive into this though. I could ask him if it ever came up before. Dirk -- https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
