Can I send Python code to the RStudio console from a piece of the order, like regular R code?

I use R and RStudio at university for homework a lot. Assignments are usually performed line by line: "The proof theorem is xy and we will implement your solution in R".

Currently, I mainly rely on Wolframalpha and Maple for symbolic computing, but I would like to work completely in RStudio to solve such problems.

I know that R has an interface with Sympy called rSympy, and that there are computer algebra systems like RYacas. However, since RStudio can execute Python scripts if they are stored in a .Py file and send them to the RStudio console, I was wondering if it is possible to somehow use Python code in knitr pieces with engine = "python" and send the script to the console RStudio without having to knit an entire document?

The workflow I'm looking for is the following:

  • Have a .RMD file in RStudio with a piece with the engine = "python"
  • Import sympy and do some symbolic calculations
  • Execute a piece of python and immediately see the output in the RStudio console (for example, with regular R fragments) without pasting the entire document
  • Ideally, you can also access python results so that I can convert them to formula R, etc.

See this link for a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hn8azii7cji4suz/stackexchange_question.tiff?dl=0

If you know a more elegant way to do symbolic calculations in R + RStudio, I also look forward to your answers!

Thanks to everyone who is ready to help me :) It has been bothering me for quite some time ...

My problem was resolved with the latest preview of RStudio Server.

Not only can you add pieces of Python and immediately display the output in your RStudio notebook, but there are options for bash and SQL.

Just wrote a simple testing procedure, and it works like a charm.

So the problem is resolved.
