We are currently working on a project which requires us to wrap the r codes into python notebook, for which we preferred rpy2 package. Initially it was working fine, but recently we came across certain error while installing the package.
Below are the ways we tried to install and the issues we faced :
1) Installed rpy2 using anaconda and got the error of python version unsatisfied (when python ==3.8.3 or anything over python==3.7.1)(attached as "conda_error")
2) Installed same using pip install but facing error of egg-info (attached aa pip_error)
3) Also tried installing rpy2 version 2.9.4 on virtual kernel using pip with python(3.7.1), the rpy2 version is as specified, but the r-base(dependency) is of a higher version
4) We also can not shift to higher version since it is not compatible with back end r codes and it gives an unlink error message.
Please let me know why we might have been facing this and how kt can be resolved.
You are using an old version of rpy2 that is not compatible with newer versions of python.
You can replace version 2.9.4 with version 3.3.6 by running:
pip install rpy2 --upgrade
