R to Python Converter

Migrate R statistical analysis and data science workflows to Python with AI-powered conversion. Transforms R dataframes and tibbles to pandas DataFrames, converts dplyr pipelines (mutate, filter, select) to pandas method chaining, and maps ggplot2 visualizations to matplotlib/seaborn. Handles tidyverse patterns to pandas idioms, statistical models (lm, glm) to statsmodels/scikit-learn, and CRAN packages to PyPI equivalents—enabling production deployment with Python's superior software engineering ecosystem.

How It Works

  1. Step 1: Paste your R source code including dataframe operations, dplyr pipelines with %>% operators, ggplot2 visualizations, and statistical model definitions.
  2. Step 2: The AI analyzes R patterns identifying dataframe column access ($, [[]]) for pandas equivalents, pipe operators for method chaining, and ggplot2 layers for matplotlib.
  3. Step 3: Advanced transformation generates Python code with pandas DataFrames, chained methods replacing pipes, seaborn/matplotlib for visualizations, and statsmodels for statistical analysis.
  4. Step 4: Download production-ready Python code compatible with Jupyter notebooks, MLOps pipelines, and data engineering workflows using industry-standard Python libraries.

Code Conversion Examples

Example 1: Dataframe Operations with dplyr

R Input
library(dplyr)

# R dataframe with dplyr pipeline
employees <- data.frame(
  name = c("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "Diana"),
  age = c(28, 35, 42, 31),
  salary = c(65000, 75000, 85000, 70000),
  department = c("Sales", "IT", "IT", "Sales")
)

# dplyr pipeline with %>%
result <- employees %>%
  filter(age > 30) %>%
  mutate(salary_increase = salary * 1.1) %>%
  select(name, age, salary_increase, department) %>%
  arrange(desc(salary_increase))

# Column access with $
avg_salary <- mean(employees$salary)

# Grouping and summarization
dept_summary <- employees %>%
  group_by(department) %>%
  summarise(
    avg_age = mean(age),
    total_salary = sum(salary),
    count = n()
  )

print(result)
Python Output
import pandas as pd

# Python dataframe with pandas
employees = pd.DataFrame({
    'name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'Diana'],
    'age': [28, 35, 42, 31],
    'salary': [65000, 75000, 85000, 70000],
    'department': ['Sales', 'IT', 'IT', 'Sales']
})

# pandas method chaining (replaces %>%)
result = (employees
    .query('age > 30')
    .assign(salary_increase=lambda df: df['salary'] * 1.1)
    [['name', 'age', 'salary_increase', 'department']]
    .sort_values('salary_increase', ascending=False)
)

# Column access with bracket notation
avg_salary = employees['salary'].mean()

# Grouping and aggregation
dept_summary = (employees
    .groupby('department')
    .agg(
        avg_age=('age', 'mean'),
        total_salary=('salary', 'sum'),
        count=('name', 'size')
    )
)

print(result)

Key Changes:

R's pipe operator %>% converts to pandas method chaining with parentheses. The filter() function becomes .query() or boolean indexing. Mutate() converts to .assign() with lambda functions. Select() becomes column selection with double brackets. Arrange() maps to .sort_values(). Column access changes from $ operator to bracket notation. Group_by() and summarise() become .groupby() and .agg() with named aggregations. R's n() counting function converts to 'size' aggregation in pandas.

Example 2: ggplot2 to Matplotlib/Seaborn

R Input
library(ggplot2)

# R visualization with ggplot2
data <- data.frame(
  x = 1:100,
  y = rnorm(100, mean = 50, sd = 10),
  category = rep(c("A", "B"), each = 50)
)

# ggplot2 with grammar of graphics
plot <- ggplot(data, aes(x = x, y = y, color = category)) +
  geom_point(size = 3, alpha = 0.6) +
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = TRUE) +
  facet_wrap(~ category) +
  labs(
    title = "Scatter Plot by Category",
    x = "X Values",
    y = "Y Values"
  ) +
  theme_minimal()

# Display plot
print(plot)

# Statistical test
t_test_result <- t.test(y ~ category, data = data)
print(t_test_result)
Python Output
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
from scipy import stats

# Python visualization with matplotlib/seaborn
np.random.seed(42)
data = pd.DataFrame({
    'x': range(1, 101),
    'y': np.random.normal(50, 10, 100),
    'category': ['A'] * 50 + ['B'] * 50
})

# Create subplots for faceting
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12, 5))

# Plot for each category
for idx, category in enumerate(['A', 'B']):
    cat_data = data[data['category'] == category]
    
    # Scatter plot with regression line
    axes[idx].scatter(cat_data['x'], cat_data['y'], 
                      s=50, alpha=0.6, label=category)
    
    # Add regression line
    z = np.polyfit(cat_data['x'], cat_data['y'], 1)
    p = np.poly1d(z)
    axes[idx].plot(cat_data['x'], p(cat_data['x']), 
                   'r-', alpha=0.8)
    
    axes[idx].set_title(f'Category {category}')
    axes[idx].set_xlabel('X Values')
    axes[idx].set_ylabel('Y Values')
    axes[idx].legend()

plt.suptitle('Scatter Plot by Category')
plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

# Statistical test
category_a = data[data['category'] == 'A']['y']
category_b = data[data['category'] == 'B']['y']
t_test_result = stats.ttest_ind(category_a, category_b)
print(f"T-statistic: {t_test_result.statistic}, P-value: {t_test_result.pvalue}")

Key Changes:

ggplot2's grammar of graphics requires more explicit matplotlib code. The aes() aesthetic mapping becomes function parameters. Geom layers (geom_point, geom_smooth) convert to separate plot calls. Facet_wrap() requires manual subplot creation and iteration. Labs() parameters become individual setter methods. Theme settings map to matplotlib style configurations. R's formula syntax for t.test (y ~ category) converts to explicit array extraction and scipy.stats.ttest_ind(). The conversion demonstrates Python's more imperative style versus R's declarative ggplot2.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are R dataframes converted to Python?

R dataframes convert to pandas DataFrames with nearly identical functionality. Column selection (df$col, df[['col']]) becomes df['col'] or df.col, dplyr operations map to pandas methods, and tibbles convert to DataFrames.

What happens to ggplot2 plots?

ggplot2 visualizations convert to matplotlib/seaborn equivalents. Geoms map to plot types, aesthetics become parameters, and faceting converts to subplot creation. Alternatively, plotnine provides ggplot2 syntax in Python.

Can it convert statistical models?

Yes! R's lm/glm convert to statsmodels or scikit-learn. Statistical tests map to scipy.stats functions. Machine learning packages (caret, randomForest) convert to scikit-learn equivalents.
