Convert a R script into Python

Links: notebook, html, PDF, python, slides, GitHub

This notebook introduces the function r2python which converts R into Python. It does not work for eveything, it is being improved everytime it is needed.

rscript = """
nb=function(y=1930){
debut=1816
MatDFemale=matrix(D$Female,nrow=111)
colnames(MatDFemale)=(debut+0):198
cly=(y-debut+1):111
deces=diag(MatDFemale[:,cly[cly%in%1:199]])
return(c(B$Female[B$Year==y],deces))}
"""

from pyensae.languages import r2python
print(r2python(rscript, pep8=True))

def nb(y=1930):
    debut = 1816
    MatDFemale = matrix(D . Female, nrow=111)
    colnames(MatDFemale) .set(range((debut + 0), 198))
    cly = range((y - debut + 1), 111)
    deces = diag(MatDFemale[:, cly[set(cly) & set(range(1, 199))]])
    return tuple(B . Female[B . Year == y], deces)

It adds some not implemented function such as colnames(MatDFemale) .set(range((debut + 0), 198)) because the original syntax colnames(MatDFemale)=debut+0:198 does not work in Python. The conversion does not fix indices (first position is zero in Python and 1 in R). The bracket (debut+0):198 are needed to tell the converter the beginning of the expression. The operator %in% is converted into a set intersection.
