This is indeed saving 4 keystrokes, but have the significant disadvantage of being the likely source of a lot of problem to the unaware user. What if there is a user-defined function called 'dev_off' in the R search path ? To save you the effort of starting comments on conversion rules such as * '.' -> '_' * '_' -> '__', I'll be bringing up that '___' in python cannot be disambiguated (can be either '._' or '_.' in R). rpy2 will be trying to be 'safe by default'. > Peter > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > rpy-list mailing list > rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
