Hello all,

I spent the weekend experimenting with the faithful.py example at 
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy_demo.html.  I have made much progress 
getting parts of it to work.  The following is a summary of issues to 
date:

1)  rpy does not read the two-digit minor release number in the current 
version of R.  This group informed me of a patch, which I just learned of 
this morning.  Since I am just starting into the RPy world, I think I will 
move forward with rpy2. 

2)  rpy2 does not appear to understand the following code from the 
example:

for k in edsummary.keys():
    print k + ": %.3f" % edsummary[k]

3)  rpy2 does not deal with the "dot" conversion in the same way as rpy. 
This is a big hurtle for me.  The "faithful" example uses the following R 
objects:

r.dev_off()
r.shapiro_test()
r.ks_test()

I have studied the rpy2 documentation on this issue and am still not 
understanding how I access these R objects.    It seems the first thing I 
need is the importr package, which does not appear to be available in the 
rpy2 version I am using (rpy2-2.0.8.win32-py2.6.msi).   I tried to install 
one of the latest alpha releases on my Windows 7 machine but could not get 
it to work.   Can anyone tell me how to access the above objects in rpy2 
(2.0.8) ?   Since I am new to python as well as rpy, it seems patching 
packages or using the build tools is a bit beyond me.
