Hi there, Perhaps it's a bug, or something i don't understand, i post on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/r5yt4a/r_talking_with_python_using_orgtable_not_work/) to see if people on org community know the problem. I cross post here to see if it's a know bug or somethings ? There is something i don't understand, a difference between behavior of org-babel and org-mode when you use org table to pass data using or not using :var. |#+NAME:mypythoncode #+begin_src python :results value raw :output :return tabulate(df, headers=df.columns, tablefmt='orgtbl') import numpy as np import pandas as pd from tabulate import tabulate df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,10,size=(10, 4)), columns=list('ABCD')) #+end_src #+RESULTS: mypythoncode | | A | B | C | D | |---+---+---+---+---| | 0 | 0 | 9 | 6 | 0 | | 1 | 2 | 9 | 0 | 4 | | 2 | 9 | 6 | 0 | 1 | | 3 | 6 | 1 | 8 | 1 | | 4 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 6 | 4 | 8 | 9 | 0 | | 7 | 1 | 4 | 8 | 7 | | 8 | 9 | 3 | 2 | 5 | | 9 | 5 | 0 | 7 | 3 | #+NAME:lib-R #+HEADER: :var code=mypythoncode #+begin_src R :results output library(ggplot2) library(dplyr) library(lubridate) str(code) #+end_src #+RESULTS: lib-R : chr "| | A | B | C | D |\n|----+-----+-----+-----+-----|\n| 0 | 8 | 0 | 5 | 2 |\n| 1 | 2 | "| __truncated__ | As you see, the org table is not recognized as a dataframe by R. If i replace by a basic org table : |||#+NAME: any_data | | parameter | value | |---+-----------+-------| | 0 | heats | 30 | | 1 | heats | 30 | #+NAME:lib-R #+HEADER: :var code=any_data #+begin_src R :results output library(ggplot2) library(dplyr) library(lubridate) str(code) #+end_src #+RESULTS: lib-R : 'data.frame': 2 obs. of 3 variables: : $ X : int 0 1 : $ parameter: chr "heats" "heats" : $ value : int 30 30 ||| That works...
