Thanks. This is exactly my understanding. The Sage docs https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/packaging.html define standard, optional and experimental packages. The definition of standard package is: "standard packages are built by default. For a few packages, configure checks whether they are available from the system, in which case the build of those packages is skipped.". This is not true of rpy2, so it is a bug that rpy2 is a standard package. Probably rpy2 should be completely removed from sage, and people should pip install it instead. However, instructions to do that could be provided if anybody touches the "r." interface... -- William -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
