They’ve got some infrastructure such as “Packrat” that helps a little. You can at least be sure you have the correct version of each dependency stored away with your sources. You still need the right interpreter version. And of course if you have any exotic dependencies, you’d need to figure out what to do there. I’d say the major difference is one of disposition. The R community seems more on board with the premise that this is a problem worthy of solving. I suspect that that may be a function of the R community having a longer / deeper academic history than the Python community. EDIT: I should mention that the R community maintains some documentation about the issue as well. https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ReproducibleResearch.html https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/ReproducibleResearch.ht...
