I guess I don't know. Whenever something tempts me to R, I quickly find that Python's got a good-enough solution.
Same for me with python, I always fall back to R after 10 minutes of trying to do it in python. :)
R is better if you want some very specific, niche statistical packages.
Python is better if you want to combine statistics with any other compute process.
