Different messages on this list point to the same basic problem-Python and
RPY silently crashes when 'import rpy' is used in a Windows system. This
Windows RPY problem has two quick solutions (based on my experiments):
(1) Use RPY RC2, which is the older release from December 2006. You
might want to stay with Python 2.4 since the NUMERIC and NUMPY installations
seem to be easier with this version. Note that only R 2.0 to 2.4.1 is
supported with RC2. I used the build named
rpy-1.0-RC2.win32-R2.0.0-R-2.4.1-py2.4.exe
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rpy/rpy-1.0-RC2.win32-R2.0.0-R-2.4.1-py2.4
.exe?use_mirror=superb-east>
(2) See the rpy-list posting by Manuzhai under "Fixed the Win XP
problem" that has a link to a new RPY build based on RC3. This worked for
me, but it is not an official RPY package.
Otherwise RPY is great. Hopefully it will soon have a RC3 (or RC4?) build
that is more windows friendly and fully supports Python 2.5 and NUMPY
(making NUMERIC obsolete) and R 2.5 . Right now (IMHO) RC3 has limitations
in these areas.
