Hi Etienne, I don't think you have to make a new R file every time, you just have to make it once and call r.source("file.R") every time. Then use your R function with a new dataset. This type of data flow works great for me, and I think it is rather the opposite of hacking, since you achieve separation of R code and python code to a large extent.

However, it means that I have to make an R file everytime I make a different analysis. Of course, I could easily make a Python function that create the R file and call it... etc... Maybe I'm a purist, but this juste looks like hacking... isn't it a more straight forward way to do it ? Thank you again, your solution definetly solve my issue!! -Etienne Toby Hocking a écrit : > Why don't you put your R code in file.R: > > library('stats') > my.summary = function(Res) { > av <- aov( score~factor+Error(id_subject/factor), data=Res) > summary(av) > } > > then from python: > > r.source("file.R") > r.my_summary(Res) > > ??? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Etienne Gaudrain > Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 10:53 AM > To: rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Rpy] Repeated measure ANOVA : formula and summary problem > > > Hi everyone, > > I'm new to RPy, and I came to this terrific module as I was used to make some > of my analyses in R, and I came to Python in replacement of Matlab.
