RPY or RPY2

Posted in

which one of these does Red-R depend on RPY or the newer RPY2

ok looks like Red-R depends

it is using import rpy instead of import rpy2
macports doesn't have the rpy module only rpy2 is available.

moving to rpy2

The current trunk version is built for rpy but we are moving to rpy2 and using a set of libraries that I have developed (largely taking from rpy conversion functions) to convert to native python types.

I think we are planning for the move in the next few weeks.

Though trunk should be using the rpy2 version now. You will need to compile the _conversion.pyd file using the setup file in redrrpy/rpy3/setup.py for linux and mac.

Thanks
