Python-style imports of R files and packages

An rpy2 wrapper package to enable Python-style imports of R files and packages and expose them as commandline tools (based on python-fire), including automatic pandas object conversion if it is installed.

Setup

pip install import-r

Usage

Import any R installed package or R file in your working dir or on either $RPYPATH or $R_LIBS paths like any other python module:

    from r import test
    import r.test as rtest
    from r import ggplot2
    import r
    r.path.append('dir/to/my/rfiles')
    from r import my_rfile

Commandline interface

Install with cli support (pip install import-r[rcli]) and then use R files and packages on the commandline like this:

    rcli utils install_packages ggplot2
    rcli path/to/my/rfile.R function1 --arg=2 --flag

Test and release

pip install .[test]
pytest
python setup.py sdist
twine upload dist/*

Once everything passed successfully, tag and push to github:

version=0.1
git commit -m "Release v${version}"
git tag "v$version"
git push; git push --tags
