Hi Addy, Giovanni, list,

yes, the library that creates the problem is rpy2. Sadly, there is no
support on Windows for rpy2 starting from version 2.1
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.1/html/overview.html#installation

so I'd ask a Windows Pythonist to have a look at it and provide a patch
to rpy2 developers. If it's only a matter of wrong paths it shouldn't be
difficult.

Right. I confirm that it is currently working on Linux platforms with
up-to-date dependencies, and suppose that downgrading to R 2.9 is the
current workaround for Windows.

Keep an eye on 
https://trac.faunalia.it/animove/ticket/20

and add there more comments on the progress of this problem.

Thanks for feedback and sorry for inconvenience.

cheers!
