Hi, the documentation of the current development version (http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-dev/html/overview.html) states that the minimum requirement for Rpy 2.2 is python 2.5, although development is done on 2.6. As I've got one older system with Python 2.5, I ran into two issues that make Rpy v2.2 incompatible with python 2.5:
- setup.py imports 'namedtuple' from 'collection', although that's only available in Python 2.6. The import line can actually be removed, as there's no use of namedtuple in setup.py, or at least I couldn't find one in the alpha4 snapshot. - Probably more severe: PyUnicode_FromString() is used quite a lot in the C-code, but was newly introduced in Python 2.6 - so it gives import errors when used with python 2.5 because PyUnicode_FromString can't be found. For my own purpose, I'll of course upgrade to a more recent Python version (long overdue anyway), so I don't really care much. But maybe the documentation should be fixed to make clear that Python 2.6 is required for Rpy 2.2. Thanks a lot, Christian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
