Do you mean PyGrADS? PyGrADS enables access to all the statistical packages
available with scipy (google for it). In particular, you can use the python
interface to R and use all the packages available in R. The point is:
depending on what you have to do, use the best tool for the job at hand. The
EPD environment has a much broader collection of statistical algorithms, but
this only matters if you need them.
