Not completely, but I clearly overlooked the fact that such backward compatibility through import statements are common practice in Python. That's an interesting suggestion from Andrew... let me think on how I can tie that together. I am also seeing two separate points here: - provide the '.'-to-'_' feature as an option for rpy2's robjects - provide full/limited backward compatibility with rpy-1.0 as a module (so legacy rpy code can run as such) > Earlier in this thread Laruent wrote: > > There is also a module "rpy_classic" that is a rough emulation of rpy > > built with rpy2.rinterface (the emulation is rough because of limited > > time on my end - this is also a demo of how how could build an interface > > to R without touching on C code). > > If this can be tested, then I sounds like it should be the recommended > route for converting rpy1 code for rpy2. May be not what you are expecting. The aim of rpy_classic is to have rpy code running without (much) modification. > Laurent, could you show us how you would write this trivial plot > example (at the start of this thread) using rpy2.rpy_classic? This example was chosen because it is simpler(*) to do it with the rpy2 interface than with rpy (no CONVERSION juggling for example). (*: I might be biased here). Is it still necessary to know it from the clarifications above ?
