Description: ### Factanal
        
        Python wrapper replicating the known factor analysis output from the factanal R function. 
        The only supported input is a pandas data frame. Formulas as input are currently 
        not supported. A covariance matrix is always computed from the input data frame. 
        Setting control variables for maximum likelihood estimation is currently not 
        supported.

        #### Example
        
        ```
        import pandas as pd
        import random
        from factanal.wrapper import factanal
        
        pdf = pd.DataFrame({"v1": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v2": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v3": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v4": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v5": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v6": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v7": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)],
                            "v8": [random.randint(0, 100) for _ in range (30)]})
        
        fa_res = factanal(pdf, factors=4, scores='regression', rotation='promax', 
                          verbose=True, return_dict=True)
        
        pd.DataFrame(fa_res["scores"])
        ```
        
        
        #### Installation
        
        ```pip install factanal```
        
        #### Dependencies
        The only dependency is the rpy2 library. 
        
        In addition to that, R must be installed on your system and accessible to rpy2.
