rwrapr 0.9.1

Python package for using R in Python

RWrapR

Features

RWrapR is a python package for using R inside of python. It is built using rpy2, but attempts to be more convient to use. Ideally you should never have to worry about using R objects, instead treating R functions as normal python functions, where the inputs and outputs are python objects.

import rwrapr as wr
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

dplyr = wr.library("dplyr")
dt = wr.library("datasets")

dplyr.last(x=np.array([1, 2, 3, 4]))
dplyr.last(x=[1, 2, 3, 4])

iris = dt.iris
df = dplyr.mutate(iris, Sepal=wr.Lazily("round(Sepal.Length * 2, 0)"))

To do

1. Better warning handling (this will likely be tricky)
    - Sometimes we will get datatypes which are incompatible,
        e.g., warning accompanied by
2. Better handling of missing values.

Requirements

• R must be installed

Installation

You can install RWrapR via pip from PyPI:

pip install rwrapr

Usage

Please see the Reference Guide for details.

Managing R dependencies

RWrapR will automatically install the required R packages, using the global library path. Sometimes this is not desirable, and you may want to use the renv package to manage your R dependencies. To do this, you can use renv via the rwrapr package.

import rwrapr as wr

renv = wr.library("renv") # note you must install renv globally first
renv.init() # initialize renv

renv.install("statisticsnorway/ssb-metodebiblioteket")
renv.install("metodebiblioteket")

renv.snapshot(type="all") # update lock-file

If you are using .ipynb files, you can should add renv.autoload() to the top of your notebook to ensure that the correct R environment is loaded.
