[Bioc-devel] Integrating python into an R package

[Vincent Carey]

I would advise that you do not reimplement working methods but interface to
them.  Bioconductor's BiocSklearn package
exposes aspects of scikit and you could have a look at that for one
approach.  The basilisk package <https://github.com/LTLA/basilisk> in
development is
a more systematic way of governing interoperability with python and should
also be examined.
