Problem is that rpy2 will not install with pip. It gets: Error: Tried to guess R's HOME but no command 'R' in the PATH. Even though R's HOME is in the PATH. Googling this I found it's a very common problem, with no solution I could find. I finally found a post by the author of rpy that says "There is no official support for Windows,". and he refers people to this site http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#rpy2 that has 'unofficial and unstable' prebuilt windows binaries for it. If anyone is interested as to why I am embarking on this very unpleasant task, I have a django app that runs in linux. I have successfully deployed it with Docker, vagrant/VirtualBox, VMware, kvm, and on bare metal. But now I have prospective client that refuses to run linux, even in a VM. So I am tying to get my app running on Windows Server 2016, piece by painful piece. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
