rchitect – maps the R API to Python

rchitect maps the R API to Python, enabling Python programs to interact with an embedded R session. It can evaluate R expressions, invoke R functions, and convert objects between the two languages.

The package was developed to provide the R integration used by the radian console.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Evaluates R expressions from Python.
• Calls R functions with automatic conversion of Python arguments.
• Converts R objects to corresponding Python types.
• Transforms Python objects into R objects.
• Provides access to the R global environment.
• Supports conversions between reticulate and rchitect objects.
• Lets users select an R installation through PATH, R_BINARY, or R_HOME.
• Provides binary Python wheels for supported platforms.
• Uses CFFI to interface with the R shared library.
• Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
