RPy justs translates between Python and R, it's not an implementation of R in Python, so you have to have R installed somewhere for it to work. What is possible is to use a web-services approach, where the GUI sends requests to a web server that has Python, RPy, and R installed on it, gets back the results, and displays them. -- Gad Abraham Dept.
