I do not see rpy die, but continue its way at least for some time. I have picked the name rpy2 to allow a peaceful coexistence with rpy (both can be installed in the same python library directory - but importing both of them in the same python process might not be a good idea). > Hopefully the backward compatibility interface in rpy 2.0 will > eventually make upgrading from rpy1 to rpy2 simple. That's the intent, but rpy2.rpy_classic is currently only providing compatibility to a "large" part of rpy. > In the meantime, I would assume the developers would accept Windows > installers compiled by volunteers. Yes. I built the last rpy binaries, but stopped because: - conception/design/implementation of rpy2 was taking a lot of time - I could not access my development win32 machine for some time. For rpy2, I am relying on builds kindly contributed by Laurent Oget. > These need updating for each new > release of R, so the installers do get out of date. > > Its been a while but I have build rpy on Windows with Python 2.3 and > MSCV 6.0 (the compiler used for the official Python 2.3 installation). > Cygwin's mingw32 compiler should also work (which is freely available > software) for any version of python. All compiling I have done was with mingw32.
