I was expecting the rpy2 interface to be like that of a database cursor. However, now I see that the database would have to be initialized beforehand as a database server process. With R, there is no such server process, so for whatever reason, quitting R entails quitting Python as well. Thanks for the clear explanation and quick reply -- very helpful. - Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
