Thank you very much for your feedback, Martin and Hervé Our goal is to make the package available in R as well for users who are more familiar with this programming language. Python would run behind the scenes, as kindly suggested by Hervé; basilisk seems a very good option.
Thanks again for your availability.

There wouldn't be much value in making something that is essentially a python package without connection to Bioconductor available in Bioconductor.

I was wondering if Bioconductor supports python dependencies or if I should re-program the package in R exclusively. Is calling python from R using the package "reticulate" acceptable for a package submission onto Bioconductor? Thank you for your attention.
