The R-style way to do it is currently a bit uneasy for the non initiated, unfortunately. Note that a copy of the data.frame is made. >>> from rpy2.robjects.packages import importr >>> base = importr('base') >>> print(df) a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 >>> print(base.__dict__['$<-'](df, 'a', 123)) a b 1 123 4 2 123 5 3 123 6 The Python way is more straightforward, and the replacement is done in-place. >>> df[0] = ro.IntVector((123, )) >>> print(df) a b 1 123 4 2 <NA> 5 3 <NA> 6 Warning message: In format.data.frame(x, digits = digits, na.encode = FALSE) : corrupt data frame: columns will be truncated or padded with NAs > Thanks. > > JDO > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > rpy-list mailing list > rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
