R and Python Polymode Data Science

Hi all, Does anyone have a configuration or tips in setting up a workflow in emacs that uses python and R? Would be most interested in a way with polymode but open to all ideas. Thanks in advance

You can do literate programming (like jupyter notebooks) in orgmode, and include src blocks for arbitrary languages you're working with.

Have you tried ESS?

Yea! It works well within R though I haven't done any heavy work in it yet and I have it working with markdown and quarto I'm looking to do something similar with python. Doesn't need to work with R in the same document though that'd be cool. I know R has reticulate but I've hears iffy things about it

I've been using RStudio for R + Python via reticulate package and so far i did not have any major problems. All the py objects that you create are accesible to you in R via the \`py\` variable that is in your global environment. Also vice-versa you can get to R objects in your Py session. I don't think you should have any problems to do the same in Emacs via ESS + reticulate to do R <-> py interaction.

Besides reticulate, there's also quarto-mode.

Awesome, I'll give it a shot to see hour if goes

orgmode is great for literate programming but from my experience RMarkdown is a bit better when working mostly with R. Things like templating, xaringan presentations, and hmtlwidgets are all more seamless with RMarkdown.

I'm in academia and spend 90% of my time in RMarkdown documents (xaringan presentations, blogdown, and plain old Rmd docs). I'm using spacemacs but you can view my haggard dotfile here: https://gitlab.com/mhaffner/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.spacemacs I'd explain what I'm doing in more detail but I have a baby sleeping on my chest right now. Let me know if you want more info and I'll respond later.

https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime, python mode, and ipython work well for me. Some combination of markdown mode, polymode, quarto, and jupytext can probably get you pretty far with a literate programming style. There’s also the https://github.com/nnicandro/emacs-jupyter package that might be worth checking out.

Thank you for sharing! Apologies for the delayed response, it's been a hectic few days. I would love a little bit of a rundown as I think it makes some sense but I am quite new to emacs

Thank you for this and apologies for the delayed response. Does the comint-mime work out of the box with quarto? I have got quarto enabled so I do think I should just be able to insert a python chunk and be able to code as normal but I am not a 100% sure
