Being new to R, trying to use it from python with RPy will be extra
hard. I would start by working only in R and getting the hang of
working with dendrograms in R only.
Only then would I recommend trying it from python via RPy. As you are
dealing with a complex objects (dendrograms), you cannot simply convert
them into python data structures - but for specific properties (e.g.
branch lengths) turning them into a python structure makes sense (e.g.
as a floating point number).
