how can I assign the dataframe data types to a variable in rpy2?

Question

how can I assign the dataframe data types to a variable in rpy2?

The way I would do this in in Python is:

dt = df.dtypes
print(dt)

I have already tried the following in rpy2:

dt <- str(df)
print(dt)

but I get the following R Parsing error:

in R(self, line, cell, local_ns)

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/rpy2/rinterface_lib/_rinterface_capi.py in _parse(cdata, num, rmemory) 650 # PARSE_EOF 651 if status[0] != openrlib.rlib.PARSE_OK: --> 652 raise RParsingError('Parsing status not OK', 653 status=PARSING_STATUS(status[0])) 654 return res

RParsingError: Parsing status not OK - PARSING_STATUS.PARSE_ERROR

Answer 1

The parsing error was caused by the comment line at the beginning of the cell. rpy2 does not like the use of comments that begin and end with '''. '''
