Passing data from python chunk to R environment in Rnotebook

I've got some data given to me in a python shelve file, I want to pass it to R for plotting. my code to extract it looks like this:

Try executing this chunk by clicking the Run button within the chunk or by placing your cursor inside it and pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 

```{python}
import numpy as np
from numpy import ma, array
import shelve

MODEL = "May2016"
d = shelve.open('fits_shelve_' + MODEL)
hilldata = d['hilldata']
allchi  = d['allchi']
aa      = d['aa'] 
rr      = d['rr'] 
names   = d['names']
weight  = d['weight']
weightc = d['weightc']
dl      = d['dl']
vi      = d['activatorM']
activatorM = d['activatorM']
activatorR = d['activatorR']
d.close()

```

I would now like to pass these object to R. Is there a way to do this in Rnotebook? I know something similar is possible with SQL chunks.

Solution

  • I think for python/R interaction you'll have to save the data to the file system in one chunk and read it back in another.
