Hi,
there is an ArcGIS toolbox written by Mark Janikas from ESRI that links
ArcGIS/ArcMap/ArcCatalog with R through Python. This is more like a
proof-of-principle, it allows to access a point clustering method from R from
within ArcGIS. Don't ask me for the details, but at least one of the two
alternative approaches used is based on RPy.

On the other hand, the RPyGeo package for R uses Python (but not RPy!) to
call ArcGIS tools from within R. Sort of a basic ArcGIS front-end in R, but
it suffers from the long latency time of ArcGIS.
I have posted references to MGET before:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GeoEco/0.6
but for me http://code.env.duke.edu/projects/mget/ is not responding now.
There was plenty of code there, but I think using DCOM through Python
rather than Rpy (or better Rpy2). Carson Farmer's Qgis plugin manageR does
run through Rpy2, and so is a cross-platform interface. Using DCOM for
ArcGIS does make some sense, as ArcGIS is most frequently found on
platforms running DCOM.

Are there any examples of RPy being used with ArcMap or any other
