Pandas - how to convert r dataframe back to pandas?

Question

I converted a pandas df to r using the the below:

import pandas as pd
import pandas.rpy.common as com
import rpy2.robjects as ro
from rpy2.robjects.packages          


        

Answer 1

Given your import, it appears it is:

com.convert_robj(rdf)

For example,

In [480]: dfrm
Out[480]:
           A          B  C
