R, Python: install packages on rpy2

Question

I\'m using R in my Python script through the rpy2 library and I need a package that is not in the default installation of R. How can I install it?

Answer 1

How about this

>>> import rpy2.interactive as r
>>> r.importr("utils")
>>> package_name = "DirichletReg"
>>> r.packages.utils.install_packages(package_name)
