[R] Python and R

[Esmail Bonakdarian]

Hello all,

I am just wondering if any of you are doing most of your scripting
with Python instead of R's programming language and then calling
the relevant R functions as needed?

And if so, what is your experience with this and what sort of
software/library  do you use in combination with Python to be able
to access R's functionality.

Is there much of a performance hit either way? (as both are interpreted
languages)

Thanks,
Esmail
