If I reckon well BoolVector(...genexpr...) is not possible here due to
R API limitation - we need length of iterable, isn't it?
It seems like copying R on Python level is not always nice
and can be quite inefficient.
Above probably could be rewritten in more Pythonic way (it would
be more efficient I believe, as well)
mysubset = source.rx((x in ref for x in source.rx2('gene')), True)
or
mysubset = DataFrame(row for row in source if row['gene'] in ref)
but of course is not supported by rpy2.
Is there a chance to make rpy2 bit more Python integrated? :)
