pyRserve – library for connecting Python to R

pyRserve is a Python client for Rserve (network layer to remote R server).

pyRserve is a library for connecting Python to R (an excellent statistic package). Running Rserve in R attaches the R-interpreter to a network socket, waiting for pyRserve to connect to it. Through such a connection, variables can be get and set in R from Python, and also R-functions can be called remotely.

In contrast to rpy or rpy2 the R process does not have to run on the same machine, it can run on a remote machine and all variable access and function calls will be delegated there through the network.

Furthermore – and this makes everything feel very pythonic – all data structures will automatically be converted from native R to native Python and numpy types and back.

Key Features

• Native Python code (will/should/may work with CPython, Jython, IronPython)
• Use R’s Rserve
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
