Hi, There are two places where the '_' <-> '.' translation can make the typing with Python (a little) more convenient.
R object names (see http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.1/html/robjects.html#module-rpy2.robjects.packages ) and named arguments in functions (see http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.1/html/robjects.html#functions ) In the later section, you'll find an example of how to customize parameter names translation to anything you like. Hoping this helps, L.
