• Calling Python from R in a variety of ways including R Markdown, sourcing Python scripts, importing Python modules, and using Python interactively within an R session.

• Translation between R and Python objects (for example, between R and Pandas data frames, or between R matrices and NumPy arrays).

• Flexible binding to different versions of Python including virtual environments and Conda environments.

Reticulate embeds a Python session within your R session, enabling seamless, high-performance interoperability. If you are an R developer that uses Python for some of your work or a member of data science team that uses both languages, reticulate can dramatically streamline your workflow!

You can install the reticulate pacakge from CRAN as follows:

Python in R Markdown

R Markdown Python Equivalent List

The reticulate package includes a Python engine for R Markdown with the following features:

• Run Python chunks in a single Python session embedded within your R session (shared variables/state between Python chunks)

• Printing of Python output, including graphical output from matplotlib.

• Access to objects created within Python chunks from R using the py object (e.g. py$x would access an x variable created within Python from R).

• Access to objects created within R chunks from Python using the r object (e.g. r.x would access to x variable created within R from Python)

Built in conversion for many Python object types is provided, including NumPy arrays and Pandas data frames. From example, you can use Pandas to read and manipulate data then easily plot the Pandas data frame using ggplot2:

Note that the reticulate Python engine is enabled by default within R Markdown whenever reticulate is installed.

See the R Markdown Python Engine documentation for additional details.

Importing Python modules

You can use the import() function to import any Python module and call it from R. For example, this code imports the Python os module and calls the listdir() function:

Functions and other data within Python modules and classes can be accessed via the $ operator (analogous to the way you would interact with an R list, environment, or reference class).

Imported Python modules support code completion and inline help:

See Calling Python from R for additional details on interacting with Python objects from within R.

Sourcing Python scripts

You can source any Python script just as you would source an R script using the source_python() function. For example, if you had the following Python script flights.py:

Then you can source the script and call the read_flights() function as follows:

See the source_python() documentation for additional details on sourcing Python code.

Python REPL

If you want to work with Python interactively you can call the repl_python() function, which provides a Python REPL embedded within your R session. Objects created within the Python REPL can be accessed from R using the py object exported from reticulate. For example:

Enter exit within the Python REPL to return to the R prompt.

Note that Python code can also access objects from within the R session using the r object (e.g. r.flights). See the repl_python() documentation for additional details on using the embedded Python REPL.

Type conversions

When calling into Python, R data types are automatically converted to their equivalent Python types. When values are returned from Python to R they are converted back to R types. Types are converted as follows:

R	Python	Examples
Single-element vector	Scalar	1, 1L, TRUE, 'foo'
Multi-element vector	List	c(1.0, 2.0, 3.0), c(1L, 2L, 3L)
List of multiple types	Tuple	list(1L, TRUE, 'foo')
Named list	Dict	list(a = 1L, b = 2.0), dict(x = x_data)
Matrix/Array	NumPy ndarray	matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)
Data Frame	Pandas DataFrame	data.frame(x = c(1,2,3), y = c('a', 'b', 'c'))
Function	Python function	function(x) x + 1
NULL, TRUE, FALSE	None, True, False	NULL, TRUE, FALSE

If a Python object of a custom class is returned then an R reference to that object is returned. You can call methods and access properties of the object just as if it was an instance of an R reference class.

Why reticulate?

From the Wikipedia article on the reticulated python:

The reticulated python is a speicies of python found in Southeast Asia. They are the world’s longest snakes and longest reptiles…The specific name, reticulatus, is Latin meaning “net-like”, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex colour pattern.

From the Merriam-Webster definition of reticulate:

1: resembling a net or network; especially : having veins, fibers, or lines crossing a reticulate leaf. 2: being or involving evolutionary change dependent on genetic recombination involving diverse interbreeding populations.

The package enables you to reticulate Python code into R, creating a new breed of project that weaves together the two languages.

5.4 Control the size of plots/images

The size of plots made in R can be controlled by the chunk option fig.width and fig.height (in inches). Equivalently, you can use the fig.dim option to specify the width and height in a numeric vector of length 2, e.g., fig.dim = c(8, 6) means fig.width = 8 and fig.height = 6. These options set the physical size of plots, and you can choose to display a different size in the output using chunk options out.width and out.height, e.g., out.width = '50%'.

If a plot or an image is not generated from an R code chunk, you can include it in two ways:

• Use the Markdown syntax ![caption](path/to/image). In this case, you can set the size of the image using the width and/or height attributes, e.g.,

• Use the knitr function knitr::include_graphics() in a code chunk. You can use chunk options such as out.width and out.height for this chunk, e.g.,

R Markdown Python Equivalent Chart

We used the width 50% in the above examples, which means half of the width of the image container (if the image is directly contained by a page instead of a child element of the page, that means half of the page width). If you know that you only want to generate the image for a specific output format, you can use a specific unit. For example, you may use 300px if the output format is HTML.
