What is the best way to integrate some R code with a python backend?

I’ve been tempted to port to python, but some of the stats libraries have no good counterparts, so, is there a ergonomic way to do this?

One of my students codes exclusively in Python. But in most cases newer econometrics methods are implemented in R first. So he just uses rpy2 to call R from his Python code. It works great. For example, recently he performed Bayesian synthetic control using the R code shared by the authors. It required stan backend but everything worked.
