I don’t know how this extraordinary magic is implemented, but it’s amazing. For example, something really cool about reticulate is that you can switch from Python back to R and access any Python object with py$name_of_object.

Some of these features may have already existed pre-RStudio 1.4, because I will say that the last time I used reticulate, I remember having a rather good experience already. Based on this limited experience, RStudio seems to be able to function like an IDE for Python. In addition, Python variables show up in the Environment tab of RStudio, which isn’t something I personally use a lot, but it’s still cool to see.

I also noticed that RStudio will automatically detect whether you are trying to run Python or R code and enter and exit reticulate for you. I could send lines of Python code to the RStudio console just like R code. Regarding RStudio 1.4’s integration with Python, I did have quite a smooth experience running everything.

The artists are under track and their names can be accessed in Python as for x in track]. If you poke around the track variable in the function, you may also find other metadata fields that you are interested in, since the function by default doesn’t save all of the fields into the data frame. I also modified the GSA.getInformation function slightly to add an additional column for artist names.

MyPlaylistInformation = pd.read_pickle(myPlaylist) MyPlaylist = GSA.getInformation('37i9dQZF1DX3hgbB9nrEB1', verbose=True) # Here's an example playlist ID: 37i9dQZF1DX3hgbB9nrEB1 The playlist I’m using as an example is “ Chillin’ on a Dirt Road.” GSA.authenticate()

Os.getcwd() # Check where you working directory is For example, in my case, when I downloaded the Python scripts, I had them in a subdirectory of my project folder, so I had to add that subdirectory, “GeneralizedSpotifyAnalyser-main,” to my Python path: If it is not there, then you can add the directory containing GSA.py to the path with. You can check what the current working directory is with os.getcwd(). In order for import GSA to work, Python has to be able to find GSA.py (and the other python scripts) in either the current working directory or some other directory that Python knows to search in.

If you are using reticulate in R/RStudio 1.4, you may also need to install those packages with py_install so that those packages are installing to the environment used by reticulate. The blog post tells you to run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the necessary packages for their GSA module. However, I’ll briefly go over a few problems I encountered while trying to get it to work in the context of RStudio. The original blog post lays out the steps you need to install everything properly, so I won’t repeat them here.
