Hi All,
Big thanks to the viewers who had commented below about the interoperability of R and Python codes, please note that this video was a quick video to show that R and Python codes can co-exist in the same notebook. But for data interoperability, I will need to make a second video about this (which I am hard at work on, please stay tuned for this). By interoperability I mean that you can transfer data from R to Python and vice versa. Of particular note, the R magic command is running rpy2 Python library under the hood and there are other syntax not yet mentioned in this short video that can treat these R code as native Python code. Further information on this is provided at rpy2.github.io/doc/latest/html/notebooks.html
(Note: Previous version of pandas used to have a function to import data from R directly into pandas, unfortunately this functionality was deprecated and is no longer available in the later versions).
Dear Sir,
When can we expect the interoperability video as currently I am working on the project in which I am generating the dataset from R but want to execute the ML models in python. Is there any reference I could use?
Great content! I like some of the ggplot graphing features in R more than the ones in python. It is great to know that I can use them without changing workbooks!
Thanks Ken for the support! Glad that it was helpful 😃
This is awesome! Been using Google Colab for a while, but didn't know you could program in both languages in the same notebook. Thank you for the useful tip!
Thanks Jaemin for the comment! Glad it was helpful. Did you know that you can also use native R right inside Google Colab, made a previous video about that ua-cam.com/video/huAWa0bqxtA/v-deo.html
@@DataProfessor Yup! Already watched it haha!!
Thanks a lot "Data professor" for your explanation, i have a question. How can i compute variables of the two language. for example if x=10 in python and y =15 in R. you know the process for do that x+y=25?
A big thanks to you. I could execute my R code in python notebook using your tip
Glad to hear
Can you cover how to connect input/output and variables from R and Python blocks?
You are doing a fantastic job! 👍
Shweta, thanks for the support!
@@DataProfessor you're welcome. :)
Thank you, Professor. You're a gem!
You're very welcome!
Nicely explained Professor
Thanks Kallol!
Crystal Clear,very well explained..Sir, I followed all your exploratory and Pandas tutorials..Very nice and learned a Lot.
Sir, I want to do small Project of "Predicting the monthly rental of a house based on User Parameters", Till Now I learnt Pandas and Numpy.....Can you please Suggest What are the other things I have To Learn to complete end to end...Like which algorithm to learn all those things.....Please Help me....Finally you are doing Great to the community Each and every day...Keep it up
You can start with Boston housing dataset. You will find many tutorials on this which will help you solve you problem statement.
Marala, thanks for watching and for the kind comments! In fact, I've made a previous video on predicting house prices using the Boston data set at ua-cam.com/video/R15LjD8aCzc/v-deo.html and the codes are in the video description. I've also made a playlist on tutorial videos from this channel on Python end-to-end tutorials at ua-cam.com/video/XmSlFPDjKdc/v-deo.html
@@shwetaredkar734 Thanks a lot..
@@DataProfessor Thanks, for your support Sir, You are supporting your students within no times...From my bottom of my ♥..
Marala Kirandeep Thanks for the kind words, please let me know what video topics you might want to see on this channel.
Hello Professor, thank you for the video. Do you know how we can import a previously calculated python variable into the R environment to work with it there in colab?
hi, hope you're doing well...thanks for your good explanations...I have one question, would you please answer me if possible? I really need it.
If I get a result in R , fore example I have a = 2, can I save it and use it in the continuation of my program which will be done in python?
thanks in advance
Yes, that is possible for both R and Python where you can embed code from the other language into it. I would recommend to look into serializing your R or Python objects (pickle for Python or RDS for R)
Awesome video! I have a question if you don't mind. How can I use a python package in an R notebook on Google Colab. the 'reticulate' package gives the ability to install a python library in R using 'py_install' but in Google Colab I get the error 'could not find a Python environment for /usr/bin/python3.' Is there a work around this error?
Hi, I am encountering the same error as you had, I also have explored this and it seems that the R environment in colab does not have support for Python. The other way around is working fine (normal colab having reticulate installed).
Hello Professor, thankyou for your videos....is there any way we can upload local files while running R in colab ?
Yes you can click on the file icon found in the left panel to upload files by point and click. Please see this video “How to Upload Files to Google Colab” ua-cam.com/video/6HFlwqK3oeo/v-deo.html
Great content!!, I was just curious to know whether the R inline codes are converted to python language syntax or processed as it is. I mean as I am r programmer whether I can directly go ahead using R codes if it doesn't impact the efficiency of the notebook. Thanks!

Thank you for bring this up 😃
That's great!
any way I can install R for my jupyter kernel using pip and without Anaconda.
Like I get new R file option in jupyter notebook kernel
Thanks you very much
A pleasure, thanks for watching 😊
Thank you data professor
A pleasure, thank you for watching 😃
Hi Chanin,
Do you plan topics like time series analysis?
Thank you.
Regards,
Teo
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I am not well versed with time series analysis but I can definitely look into this for future video.
Thanks.
Is there an also easy to handle option to run other Languages, which Jupyter can interpret, with an extern way for example Julia?
It would be nice to juggle with data in one notebook. Mostly the practical way to colab in a firm is more a saving in some kind of format which other programmers can use, if it has to go fast. A data tunneling effect from kernel to kernel would be nice ;)
This is a very good question! From my research, there is the SoS Notebook that can support several languages in the same Jupyter notebook. It supports R, Python 2/3, Julia, JS, etc. for more details, please see
vatlab.github.io/sos-docs/doc/user_guide/multi_kernel_notebook.html
Thank you! such great content. I wonder whether we can share a variable between R and Python? For instance, using python generated variable for the R ggplot2 visualization. Thanks in advance for any responses!
Hi Yazid, yes you can share variables between R and Python. Have a look at this link where the answer shows how to plot the R library ggplot2 in python stackoverflow.com/questions/35152395/using-r-in-python-with-rpy2-how-to-ggplot2
Is this working also in Jupyter Notebook or only in Google Colab? Thanks
Yes it works in both
Thank you, Professor! If it were possible, please show us how to keep libraries downloaded in drive when using colab. Thanks.
Gracias. Me ayudó bastante.
Thanks for watching 😃
After activating R magic and using %%R, I get the following error:
NotImplementedError: Conversion 'py2rpy' not defined for objects of type ''
Please help. Thanks
Can you cover how to connect input/output and variables from R and Python blocks? is that possible:
I'm not able to use this in Colab.
import rpy2
# activate R magic
%load_ext rpy2.ipython
I get the following error:
NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
1 import rpy2
2 # activate R magic

253 "Conversion 'rpy2py' not defined for objects of type '%s'" %
254 str(type(obj))
NotImplementedError: Conversion 'rpy2py' not defined for objects of type ''
How can I solve it?
Do you know if it is possible to use esquisse in google Colab ?
Hi Gabriel, thanks for the question. I did try in a native R notebook (in Google Colab), the installation was successful, loading in the library was successful, but upon using the command esquisser(iris), it attempts to spin up a local website "Listening on 127.0.0.1:5822" and upon clicking on that there was an error since with 127.0.0.1 as the address, the browser is expecting a local version of the website (which is on Colab). However, if you would like to run this on the cloud, you can try rstudio.cloud, it's free and it works just like the local version of RStudio.
@@DataProfessor Thanks a lot I did try and got the same error! I am loving your channel. Your videos are short and to the point, easy to follow and to understand. Running both R and Python on Google Colab is just AMAZING! I ll chech RStudio Cloud! Thanks a lot and keep it up!
@@gadcastillo Glad to be of help, let me know if it works 😃
@@DataProfessor it does work! thank you!
I had problem with py2rpy, but it's a version problem, then its necessary downgrade, using: "!pip install rpy2==3.5.1"
After that, everything works amazing!! Thanks !! It helps me a lot.
Use -i and -o args in %%R to pass data between python and R
