whenever there is R compared to any other analytics framework, the number one advantage is cited to be CRAN. And the counter is always that "hey python has wheel".
Does anyone think that a dedicated package site for analytics libraries is what is needed ?
From the R documentation:
In the simplest form, an R package is a directory containing: a DESCRIPTION file (describing the package), a NAMESPACE file (indicating which functions are available to users), an R/ directory containing R code in .R files, and a man/ directory containing documentation in .Rd files
But a python wheel is considerably more complicated.
