Hello,
A couple of weeks ago I posted a question about what documentation I should
read in order to implement a way to communicate Python and R. I read about the
module 'subprocess', but have not been able to do something very simple. I was
wondering if you could tell me how to transfer a Python variable to R. For
example, a variable called 'fileforR' will acquire a pathfile from the user
through a GUI. This file will be a csv file that will be processed in a R
script for statistical analysis. Let's suppose the R script is called:
'read_file.R', and that it contains the following code:
read.csv(fileforR)
q()
In the Python interpreter:
import easygui
import subprocess
fileforR = fileopenbox()
After this, I have tried different combinations to try to call R and the
mentioned R script, for example:
subprocess.call('R')
opens the R console, but I can't access the R script. And there's another
problem I can't solve: passing the 'fileforR' variable from Python to the R
environment.
I am working on SUSE Linux, and using Python 2.5.2.
Thank you very much,
Judith
