How to input arguments from R to Python with the package rPython?
Below is a naive attempt
In script.py:
print message
In script.R:
require(rPython)
text = "Hello World"
python.load("script.py", message=text)
Error in python.load("script.py", message = text) :
unused argument (message = text)
Per the package's docs (page 5-6) for the load method:
This function runs Python code contained in a file. Typically, this file would contain functions to be called via python.call or other functions in this package.
Hence, do not have a running script in Python but only defined functions with return objects:
Python (script.py)
def print_message(msg):
return msg
R (using load and call)
require(rPython)
text = "Hello World"
python.load("script.py")
python.call("print_message", text)
#[1] "Hello World"
