Re: orgmode and R?

[John Kitchin <jkitchin@andrew.cmu.edu>]

I don't know much about R, but here is a hack to do somthing like this
with python. I have not tested it beyond what you see here.

You can use emacs lisp in an org-mode spreadsheet as a formula. We will hack that to let us use Python. We will do that by making a lisp function that evaluates a python string and returns the results.

| x | y |    |
|---+---+----|
| 1 | 2 |  3 |
| 2 | 4 |  6 |
| 3 | 6 | 18 |
|---+---+----|
|   |   |    |
#+TBLFM: @2$3=@2$1 + @2$2
#+TBLFM: @3$3='(+ @3$1 @3$2);N
#+TBLFM: @4$3='(python "@4$1 * @4$2");N

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun python (string)
  "Send string to a python interpreter and return result."
  (python-shell-send-string-no-output
    string
    (or (python-shell-get-process)
        (run-python))))
#+END_SRC
