The function pySet allows to assign R objects to the Python namespace, the conversion from R to Python is done automatically.
More information about the type conversion can be found in the README file or at http://pythoninr.bitbucket.org/.
pySet(key, value, namespace = "__main__", useSetPoly = TRUE,
useNumpy = pyOptions("useNumpy"), usePandas = pyOptions("usePandas"))
| key | a string specifying the name of the Python object. |
| value | a R object which is assigned to Python. |
| namespace | a string specifying where the key should be located. If the namespace is set to "__main__" the key will be set to the global namespace. But it is also possible to set attributes of objects e.g. the attribute name of the object 'os'. |
| useSetPoly | an optional logical, giving if pySetPoly should be used to transform R objects into Python objects. For example if useSetPoly is TRUE unnamed vectors are transformed to Python objects of type PrVector else to lists. |
| useNumpy | an optional logical, default is FALSE, to control if numpy should be used for the type conversion of matrices. |
| usePandas | an optional logical, default is FALSE, to control if pandas should be used for the type conversion of data frames. |
