This is just a series of incredibly generic operations on an already cleaned dataset in csv format. In reality, you probably need to retrieve and clean the dataset yourself from, say, a database, and you you may well need to do something non-standard with the data, which needs an external library with good documentation. Python is better equipped in both regards. Not to mention, if you're building this into any sort of product rather than just exploring, R is a bad choice. Disclaimer, I learned R before Python, and won't go back.
