I tried to install rPython under windows with install.packages("rPython"). However I am getting an error that the package does not exist.

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘rPython’ is not available (for R version 3.2.5)

In the installation doc of the package I can only find this:

WINDOWS SYSTEMS
===============
On a Windows system, the package can only be installed from source at this time. Details to come.

Is there a work-around to work with Python in R?

Try 'rPython-win' if you use windows. rPython works in Linux.

    Note the link that hyunwoo gives shows the installation instructions (You don't just go install.packages("rPython-win") like normal, but install with Rtools and devtools) – micstr Aug 28 '17 at 13:40
