10/13/2023, 2:39 PMFor running R script in Python, below 2 approaches can be used but not tried with Kedro:
• Using rpy2: https://pypi.org/project/rpy2/
• Calling R-script using Python’s subprocess functionality
May be a custom io dataset can be created inn Kedro handing the Rscripts or creating a node function using rpy2 and calling it in pipeline
