It allows Python code to call R functions, manipulate R objects, and work with R data structures as if they were native Python objects. The package depends on rpy2-rinterface, jinja2, tzlocal, and packaging.\n\nTypical use involves importing R functions or running R code snippets from within Python scripts, making it useful for data analysis workflows that combine Python and R. The package supports Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13, and is actively maintained. Installation is straightforward via pip, though it requires a working R installation on the system and may need library path configuration if R is not in a standard location.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to call R from Python and have R already installed on your system. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The GPLv2+ copyleft license requires careful consideration if you plan to distribute your code\u2014ensure your project's license is compatible. The main blocker is the external R dependency and potential library path configuration on non-standard R installations."},"id":"rpy2-robjects","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rpy2-robjects","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rpy2-robjects.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rpy2-robjects/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"rpy2-robjects","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python interface to the R language (embedded R)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":120582,"position":12018,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.6.5"}
