Readme walpy

Walpy is a general purpose package.

Dependencies

Currently the package depends on: rpy2.

Available functions:

r_importer(modules, install_only=[], log=False)

R to Python installer and importer. When importing R packages while working in a Python environment can lead to some unnecessary code. In order to provide an as clean and close to importing Python packages as possible importing experience, walpy has this function that allows one to import a list of R packages. The package is flexible enough to also allow for manual imports. If one wants to manually import an R package, simply specify the package(s) to be installed manually and map the example below the following code cell to the individual's use case.

Example of r_importer(modules, install_only=[], log=False):

# Define R modules to be installed and imported
modules = ['stargazer', 'sandwich']

# R modules that are only installed and thus not imported!
install_only = ['dplyr', 'tidyverse']

# Run the R importer function
r_importer(modules, install_only)

suppress(object)

Use this function to suppress output. Simply use Python's 'with' function in combination with 'suppress()'.

Example of suppress(object):

with suppress():
  print('I want to suppress this!')

write_run(line, cell)

This function is jupyter notebook specific. It allows the user to write and run a specific cell to a python (.py) script. Simply use %%write_run <file_name.py> at the top of the cell.
