Hi all, I need the power of R from within some of my Python programs... I use debian linux (woody) at home and windows XP at work (the latter is where I need to get things done!)
This are my packages: R 1.8.0 Python 2.3 RSPython 0.5-3
This is what I've done: (1) Since the Windows Binary of RSPython is compiled against Python 2.2 I downloaded the tarball (2) Followed the instructions in INSTALL.win (with pexports and everything) (3) In the RGUI "Install package(s) from local zip files..."
If you have downloaded the tarball of RSPython, you have to install the package using Rcmd INSTALL, and you cannot use the RGUI which is designed to install binary packages.

(4) NO errors reported during this process
(5) When I try to "Load package" in R it show this error:
> local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
Error in testRversion(descfields) : This package has not been installed properly
See the Note in ?library
(6) In Python >>> import RS Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named RS
Please help me to get this excelent tools going on in Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Hector
Thanks for your help guys. Tim: I had already seen RPy; but its Windows binary is compiled against Python 2.2 (and I have 2.3) so it didn't work.
Uwe: (1) I installed Active Perl (it seems to be needed by Rcmd INSTALL) (2) I then created a tar.gz with the modifications found in INSTALL.WIN (3) Here's what I got:
E:\to_do>Rcmd INSTALL -c e:/to_do/RSPython.tar.gz

What's a description file? Any suggestions compiling this? Thanks again in advance, Hector
