Combining R and Python with {reticulate} and Quarto | Nicola Rennie

Sometimes you might need to use R. Sometimes you might need to use Python. Sometimes you need to use both at the same time. This blog post shows you how to combine R and Python code using {reticulate} and output the results using Quarto.

Thanks for the post! Nice to see some quarto tricks in action, e. g. output-location: slide.

So, everytime I ask AI search chats about quarto and Python, it directs me to this blog article, which is fantastic. This is the third time I've looked for quarto and python and come upon this site. It's a fantastic blog article that the official quarto website should link to. Thank you for writing this great article.

Thanks - I'm glad you found it useful!

So when I try to run the qmd file, I get the following error for the r chunk where the reticulate library is loaded.

Any suggestions to get it to work?

Error in fortify(): ! data must be a , or an object coercible by fortify(), not a list. Backtrace:

1. ggplot2::ggplot(...)
2. ggplot2:::ggplot.default(...)
3. ggplot2:::fortify.default(data, ...)

Hi @ndjrt, do you mean the code chunk labelled label: plotting? I can't reproduce the error unfortunately. Is reticulate properly installed, and can you inspect the output from the python block to make sure it looks as you would expect?
