"R is in my opinion much better suited for that, with a better interactive interface" Have you tried IPython/Jupyter?

  Yes, I used IPython a lot. What I meant by better interactive interface is that the language itself is designed with interactive use in mind. For instance compare func(x$a, x$b) func(a, b, data=x) func(a=1, b=2) with func(x['a'], x['b']) func('a', 'b', data=x) func([1, 2], ['a', 'b']) The R versions are easier to type and read.

    the last one is, of course, a result of the atrocious handling of the default arguments in Python :)

    If the Python version is Pandas you could replace the brackets with dot notation. (x.a, x.b)
