The goal of the R package ‘pm4py’ is to provide a bridge between bupaR and the Python library PM4Py.

PM4Py Version

To facilitate getting stable results and to reduce the number of regressions due to API changes in PM4Py, this package is built against a fixed PM4Py version that is defined in the file R/version.R. We also adopt the versioning schema of the PM4Py project for this R package. So, the R package version 1.1.19 will install the PM4Py version 1.1.19.

In case of fixes required to the R package itself, for example, for bugs or adopting new features, we will add a suffix -rev to the version to indicate the change. Of course, nothing prevents you from manually overriding the synchronisation between the PM4Py version and the R PM4Py package version using the parameter version as follows:

pm4py::install_pm4py(version = "1.2.7")
