Dear William, Sorry to have sounded frightened by *you* : I'm frightened by the amount of *my* ignorance...
Since it seems that I'm (almost) alone among Sage users to be interested by the development of an interface to R, I'm exploring the options. And I'm trying to understand things I was used to *use* (as you use your car without thinking about the thousands of engeenering problems that had to be solved to make it "just run"). So I try to list all the possible solutions and ranking them also by a very personal criterion : the amount of knew knowledge I will need to use them... Your description of Jupyter kernels makes me put it at the extremity of my list... You do not have to convince me that pexpect is a poor way to do it : I'm convinced : the data interchange involves a serious amount of playing fast and loose with Python and R dumps. Not quite steamlined...
