Hi, The development version of rpy2 is being added features to make the R documentation dynamically accessible as Python docstrings for the relevant objects; this should be a major improvements for people running interactive sessions.
If anyone is/was interested in the feature testing early improves the odds of finding problems before the release, so please do it. rpy2-2.3.0-dev is currently fairly stable (i.e., crash-wise - the API is not). Using iPython 0.11, a test run goes like this: In [1]: import rpy2.interactive as r Pydoc generator: oddity with "_Last_value" In [2]: r.importr('cluster') # may take few seconds... Out[2]: rpy2.robjecs.packages.Package as a <module 'cluster' (built-in)> In [3]: %pdoc r.packages.cluster.mona Class Docstring: MONothetic Analysis Clustering of Binary Variables [ - exported ] ** Experimental dynamic conversion of the associated R documentation ** Returns a list representing a divisive hierarchical clustering of a dataset with binary variables only. mona(x) Parameters: x -- data matrix or data frame in which each row corresponds to an observation, and each column corresponds to a variable. All variables must be binary. A limited number of missing values (NAs) is allowed. Every observation must have at least one value different from NA. No variable should have half of its values missing. There must be at least one variable which has no missing values. A variable with all its non-missing values identical, is not allowed. Returns: an object of class '"mona"' representing the clustering. See 'mona.object' for details. See Also: 'agnes' for background and references; 'mona.object', 'plot.mona'. The current target R version for rpy2-2.3.0 is the unreleased R version 2.14, and one will remember that the installation needs an extra switch: python setup.py build_ext --ignore-check-rversion install Laurent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malware Security Report: Protecting Your Business, Customers, and the Bottom Line.
