About

rpy2 is a redesign and rewrite of rpy. It is providing a low-level interface to R, a proposed high-level interface, including wrappers to graphical libraries, as well as R-like structures and functions.

Documentation

Most of the features are documented in the rpy2 documentation, as well as in Python docstrings. Instructions such as how to download or install it are also available in the rpy2 documentation.

A release 2.1 is worked on, and in the meanwhile irregular snapshots of the documentation for the development branch are made available. The development branch is adressing shortcomings in the higher-level interface, while infortunately introducing API-breaking changes when compared to the 2.0.x series. Porting code from rpy2-2.0 to rpy2-2.1 is easy, it is nevertheless advised to check the section Changes in that documentation (here).

Download

Source packages (and eventually binary packages) are available at:

• Pypi
• Sourceforge.

rpy2 is also packaged for a number of systems (debian/ubuntu, redhat, mandrake), as well as available through easy_install.

The primary repository the rpy2 source is now on Mercurial, and at bitbucket: http://www.bitbucket.org/lgautier/rpy2/ .

Bug reports can either be made as bug entries on the SourceForge page or as issues on the bitbucket page.

For the time being, the source in SVN is no longer up-to-date.

Contact

The rpy mailing-list should be used for most of the questions.

Use the contacts page otherwise.
