Well, that was also my impression given how Interface class starts:
class Interface(WithEqualityById, ParentWithBase):
"""
Interface interface object.
.. NOTE::
Two interfaces compare equal if and only if they are identical
objects (this is a critical constraint so that caching of
representations of objects in interfaces works
correctly). Otherwise they are never equal.
"""
The change for R() happened since it is no longer a pexpect interface, but
rpy2 one. I have no idea how exactly it works and if it is possible to use
it to create multiple instances or namespaces with it, but perhaps
knowledgeable people should look into it.
