I am attempting to retrieve the R html help via help.start() using
rpy2 but I am not getting the behaviour I would except.
>From R:
> help.start()
starting httpd help server ... done
If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must
switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...
>From Rpy2:
>>> import rpy2.robjects as robs
>>> robs.r('help.start()')
starting httpd help server ... done
If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must
switch to its window.
Otherwise, be patient ...
<RObject - Python:0x31e13f8 / R:0x2997ef8>
but the port in this case appears to be wrong? Because the html is
never displayed/generated?
At first I thought it might have something to do with having multiple
instances of R open or something, but I can have two separate
(regular) R sessions open at once, both generating their own html help
files. I had thought that I'd seen something about this before, but I
can't find anything in the list archives... any thoughts?
