Simple way to pass directory to r script using python

Question

I have tried using rpy2 in order to generate plots within a python script before, but now I am doing a bit more complicated things within R scripts. Using python I am outputting a number of datafiles, and my R scripts only need the directory and file name to analyze.

Is there an easy way in python to call an r script and pass it directory and filename?

See the Python subprocess library and RScript

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['Rscript.exe', 'script.r', 'filename'])
