I don't know how to fix this, but for what it is worth, the exact same
error happens in rpy1:
>>> import rpy
>>> rpy.r.library("MASS")
['MASS', 'stats', 'graphics', 'grDevices', 'utils', 'datasets',
'methods', 'base']
>>> rpy.r.attach("birthwt")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
rpy.RPy_RException: Error in function (what, pos = 2, name =
deparse(substitute(what)), warn.conflicts = TRUE) :
file 'birthwt' not found
In the absence of any other suggestions, I would just not use attach
and instead access the birthwt data explicitly by name. Of course,
being more of a python programmer than an R programmer, I like to have
things explicit ;)
