Well, on the other hand this is not documented so hacking it could have been a safe way to ensure the wanted behavior. The code in setup.py is still having parts for performing compilations of the C-level module against different R versions (as done in RPy), while basically what is currently done is compiling against one version then consider it ok as long as the symbol table/exported names is not changing. The 2.0.x series is hoped to provide the experience to tell which way it working, and the code cleaned up/modified accordingly for 2.1.0 (or changes backported to 2.0.x) > A little progress. rpy2.robjects imports against R version 2.8.1 but > when I do the import I get: > > Error in capabilities("aqua") : > 1 argument passed to .Internal(capabilities) which requires 0 ?!

Did you try having the install clearly distinct by using the option --prefix (and a setting PYTHONPATH accordingly) ?
