biobricks::bblib install packages in base environment #4

When following this documentation

it is specified to install and configure the python package for biobricks. It is a standard procedure to create a new environment for a new project so the common action is to create a new python environment.

However when continuing the the documentation running biobricks::bblib(), python packages are installed in the base python environment of the system, without being prompted to confirm that that is okay.

maybe it's a good idea to define an argument that specifies the python environment you'd like to install these packages into?

How about installing into the active python environment? Is that a reasonable solution? handling resolution of python environments sounds difficult.
