R retriculate execute python code direct from within R code

Question

I am trying to use retriculate to run python code from R. This works, for example I can run:

library(retriculate)
py_run_file("mypyfile.py")

where the mypyfile.py contains:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({a:[1,2], b:[3,4]})
df.to_csv(mypythongenerateddata.csv)

to keep things easier I would prefer to just place these three lines of python code in the R script directly, as opposed to sourcing the python script. The documentation seems to suggest using a markdownfile, which I am not to fond off. enter link description here

You could use py_run_string:

library(reticulate)

py_run_string("
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1,2], 'b':[3,4]})
df.to_csv('mypythongenerateddata.csv')")

py$df
#>   a b
#> 1 1 3
#> 2 2 4
