So, this is not about the article. I've recently started using rpy2 as a python wrapper for R functions and libraries and I'm finding that it is not that bad.
There is some performance issues, but I am OK to trade that off for the convenience of using "try:" rather than R's "tryCatch". Having tryCatch as a function rather than built into the syntax is unacceptable to me. But there are some libraries in R that don't have elegant alternatives in Python or which you have multiple options or perhaps not the time to unlearn.
