I ended up using Dispatch("WScript.Shell") and AppActivate("R
Console") of the win32com.client module because they are higher level
functions. I guess that your code runs faster, but I don't have an old
machine to compare the performance of the two codes. I still may
switch to your code in the future, when I have easy access to a real
machine running Windows to make some tests. The released version of
the plugin is here:

Thanks for your help!

I have found a simple workaround: sending Alt+Tab to R Console. Tomorrow I will test your solution. I can't do it right now because I don't have a real machine running Windows here.

Anyway, different machines could require different amounts of sleep and, thus, this workaround may not be generalizable enough since the plugin would be used by many people on different systems.

Thank you very much! Your code solved my problem. I added some lines
to set the focus into R before the ^V and then back to Vim:
Unfortunately, I was wrong. Your code do send the ^v as expected, but
I have problem with the selection of the Windows which will receive
the ^v. The code above was OK in a Windows XP running inside
VirtualBox, but when tested in a real machine, it proved to be highly
inconsistent. Sometimes the ^v gets pasted into R, but more frequently
it is pasted into Vim itself or nowhere. Below is the complete code
that I'm using. It's a vim script. The python code is delimited by
"python<< EOL" and "EOL":
function! SendToRPy(aString)
python<< EOL
import time
import win32api
import win32con
import win32com.client
import win32clipboard
import vim
aString = vim.eval("a:aString")
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardText(aString)
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
ok = shell.AppActivate("R Console")

else:
vim.command("call RWarningMsg('Is R running?')")
time.sleep(1)
EOL
endfunction
When R isn't running, the script correctly shows the warning message
"Is R running?". Does anyone know what should I do to correctly use
the AppActivate function or is there a better approach to this
problem?
I'd add some more small sleeps to give Windows/R time to act, IYSWIM. I
learned that from experience. :-)

Hi, I would like to send code from Vim [1] to R [2] on Microsoft Windows. Vim needs python 2.7 but the pre-compiled SendKeys module [3] is only avaiable for python 2.6. How can I make SendKeys work with python 2.7? I don't know how to compile python code. Is there an alternative to SendKeys? I'm sending to R only "^v" to paste the content of the clipboard.
