    cran: Use pyreadr instead of rpy2 to read a RDS file from Python · 4aee4da7
    Antoine Lambert authored
    The CRAN lister improvements introduced in 91e4e33d originally used pyreadr
    to read a RDS file from Python instead of rpy2.
    
    As swh-lister was still packaged for debian at the time, the choice of using
    rpy2 instead was made as a debian package is available for it while it is not
    for pyreadr.
    
    Now debian packaging was dropped for swh-lister we can reinstate the pyreadr
    based implementation which has the advantages of being faster and not depending
    on the R language runtime.
    
    Related to swh/meta#1709.
