import: Import a Python module

In merlingrace/reticulate1: Interface to 'Python'

Description

Import the specified Python module for calling from R.

Usage

import(module, as = NULL, convert = TRUE, delay_load = FALSE)

import_main(convert = TRUE)

import_builtins(convert = TRUE)

import_from_path(module, path = ".", convert = TRUE)

Arguments

module	Module name
as	Alias for module name (affects names of R classes). Note that this is an advanced parameter that should generally only be used in package development (since it affects the S3 name of the imported class and can therefore interfere with S3 method dispatching).
convert	TRUE to automatically convert Python objects to their R equivalent. If you pass FALSE you can do manual conversion using the py_to_r() function.
delay_load	TRUE to delay loading the module until it is first used. FALSE to load the module immediately. If a function is provided then it will be called once the module is loaded. If a list containing on_load() and on_error(e) elements is provided then on_load() will be called on successful load and on_error(e) if an error occurs.
path	Path to import from

Details

The import_from_path function imports a Python module from an arbitrary filesystem path (the directory of the specified python script is automatically added to the sys.path).

Value

A Python module

Examples

## Not run: 
main <- import_main()
sys <- import("sys")

## End(Not run)
