How can I use/call an R function in a python script?

Question

My colleague gave me a big R function and I have to use it in the pipeline which will be developed in python3. In theory I have two options:

convert R into python
directly use R function in python script (for example by importing like a module)

What do you suggest? and how can I do each of these options?

Using rpy2.robjects might help ('function.R' is the r code)

import rpy2.robjects as robjects
robjects.r.source("function.R")

result refers to the output of the function

print(robjects.globalenv["result"])
