Just the other day I discovered that there exist a kernel (SOS kernel) that allows to use Python and R simultaneously in the same notebook (on a per-cell basis) and even has primitives for data exchange between the two.

I'm definitely using this for my next project.

You can also use R inside 'normal' Python notebooks via rpy2:

from rpy2 import robjects

my_dictionary_results = some_method()

names_dict = robjects.ListVector(my_dictionary_results)

%load_ext rpy2.ipython

%R library(some_lib)

%R -i my_dictionary_results doStuff(my_dictionary_results)

Image display etc. works fine
