Each Galaxy tool uses its own (typically conda-based) environment, which will normally not use the same python as Galaxy itself (note that Galaxy can run under python 3). An example of this is deepTools, which is python 3 only but will happily run under a python 2 Galaxy since conda is being used to create a python 3 environment for it. It's best to distribute your tool via bioconda and then Galaxy will be easily able to install it.

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, though it's best to allow galaxy to make the env for you and put a copy of the wrapper in the toolshed. $\endgroup$
