Importing Rds Files In Python To Be Read As A Dataframe

I am very new in python. I have written my script in R and did a lot of analyses. But now I found that it should be converted to python. Anyway, I have problem with importing rds f

Solution 1:

This seems to be a bug when a certain version of rpy2 and pandas come together. Update them with, e.g.,

pip install --upgrade rpy2 pandas

and the error should disappear.

Solution 2:

Using the package pyreadr looks easier, install

pip install pyreadr

usage:

import pyreadr

result = pyreadr.read_r('test_data/basic/one.Rds')

# done! let's see what we got
print(result.keys()) # let's check what objects we got: there is only None
df1 = result[None] # extract the pandas data frame for the only object available

With the package you can write .rds files from python too.
