Converting an RPy2 ListVector to a Python dictionary

Question

The natural Python equivalent to a named list in R is a dict, but RPy2 gives you a ListVector object.

import rpy2.robjects as robjects

a = robjects.r(\'list         


        

Answer 1

With the new version of pandas, one could also do,

import rpy2.robjects as robjects
a = robjects.r('list(foo="barbat", fizz=123)')

from rpy2.robjects import pandas2ri
print(pandas2ri.ri2py(a.names))
temp = pandas2ri.ri2py(a)
print(temp[0])
print(temp[1])
