You can pass the read data directly to R. Probably the best way to
do this is to construct a python list containing one vector per
column. Call as.data.frame() on the list, and then proceed.
For example:
from rpy import *
set_default_mode(NO_CONVERSION)
data = [ [ 1, 2, 3], ["A","B","C"], [1.08, 1.334, 3.12] ]
df = r.as_data_frame(data)
r.print_(df)
