I want to be able to call R from python scripts that are being executed
via lib-apache2-mod-python. Should this be doable?
My python script can access some R functionality but it is very limited.
It *appears* that only the functionality in the base R package is being
loaded.
from mod_python import apache
import rpy2
from rpy2 import robjects
import math
import array
def handler(req):
r = robjects.r
r("y <- (1:10)")
r("x <- (1:10)")
r('jpeg("/var/www/apache2-default/images/testplot.jpg")')
#r.plot(r.runif(10),y,xlab="runif",ylab="foo/bar",col="red")
#r._dotter = True
#r.dev_off()
req.content_type = 'html'
req.write("<HTML>")
req.write("<BODY>")
req.write("Hello beautiful World!<BR>")
req.write('<img src="/apache2-default/images/test123.jpg" />')
req.write("</BODY>")
req.write("</HTML>")
return apache.OK
When I access the page, mod_pthon generates the following error
information:
Traceback (most recent call last):

line 381, in __call__
res = super(RFunction, self).__call__(*new_args, **new_kwargs)
RRuntimeError: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find
function "jpeg"
------------------------
If I modify my python script to call the R library() function, I get a
different error message.
def handler(req):
r = robjects.r
r("library()")
.
.
.
Generates:

Any ideas?
