\dontrun{} is allowed by CRAN. If your package got rejected for using

should still tell the user that certain packages may be needed to
access specific optional functionality.
A package will rejected if \dontrun is not needed and there are better
ways to structure the examples. Frequently code such as Ivan's proposal
(reticulate::py_module_available(...)) { ... }
is perferrable, so that the code runs if the requirements are fullfilled
/ suggested packages are available.
Best,
