R ❤️ Python

This month we’ve got special guest Raniere Silva visiting all the way from Manchester and we'll focus the whole session on how R & Python can play nicely together. Whether you are an R developer that uses Python for some of your work or a member of data science team that uses both languages, reticulate can dramatically streamline your workflow!

We'll kick off with a talk by Raniere in which he'll discuss the basics of Python and R interoperability through package reticulate.

The rest of the session we leave open for YOUR examples of R ❤️ python workflows. Examples can be at any stage of development, even if (if not especially if) you are stuck on something. The idea is to get as broad a sample as possible of the many ways the two languages can interact and help out if we can.
