Although I haven't used 'zoo' nor 'xts' in R I use Rpy/Rpy2 because it seems to expose almost all(iirc) the necessary R space within Python space. So, if I need features in R - for e.g., importing modules - library('foo'), I can still have it in Python via the Rpy/Rpy2 bridge. On the other hand with pytseries Python library, I'd be limited to only run time-series analysis wouldn't I? In the end though, it all depends on your project requirements, resources and so forth.. -- Regards, Ishwor Gurung -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
