The magic "R" for ipython (among others) is a very nice idea. Having a way to switch between Python and R in interactive mode was one of the cool things I wished to have. I think that the problem listed in the "limitation" can be worked around by wrapping calls in "withVisible()" (see the tip in rpy2/demos/radmin.py) > Happy hacking, > -- Nathaniel > > P.S.: Oh, right, license. Umm, call it "the same license terms as rpy2 > itself" for now, which I guess is the MPL/GPL/LGPL combo. I guess. I kept the same licence as the one for rpy. It makes you free to choose any licence you like, I think.
