You are indeed correct.

You could quickly fix it by writing a > custom cleaner that does delete that directory. Actually, the problem was simply that rinterface.endr() wasn't called. There were comments about that in the code of robjects.__init__.py. I've attached a patch to the issue tracker (since there was already an issue open about this). https://bitbucket.org/lgautier/rpy2/issue/68/rpy2-does-not-remove-rtmp-folders#comment-666148 With this patch, rpy2 does not leave Rtmp temporary folders around anymore. > PS: The current release for rpy2 is 2.2.2. You do want to upgrade. Actually, I've done all my testing already, and the Rtmp issue was the last one before deployment into production. The use I make of rpy2 is also quite simple (no passing back and forth of complex objects between R and Python, etc.) and everything works fine, so I'll pass on upgrading to rpy2 2.2 just now. I'd also rather wait at least for the patch for this bug to be integrated. Hoping some of the other bugs I submitted will get closed before I update... At least this one is simple (and with a patch): https://bitbucket.org/lgautier/rpy2/issue/81/rpy2-ignores-settings-in-etc-r, although you may disagree with my call. Thanks!
