We can go R to/from Python from an R perspective with reticulate

https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/python.html

There are unit tests attesting to this working:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/tests/testthat/test-python.R

However, I don't know of anyone trying to get interop from a Python
perspective with rpy2; there may be a small amount of plumbing needed
to get it working, others may know more.
