I know - read docstring for r.set, but I tried to use it to follow Tims example anyway: sage: r.set('y', r([1,2,3])) sage: r('y') [1] 1 2 3 I understood from Tims sample that r.set("variable", r(value)) would set it. Anyway, the thing I want to do is function taking variable name and pythonic list or value and using it in R to set variable value. Exactly stuff that is done by below code. in R: letSage <- function(variable,value) { .GlobalEnv[[variable]]<-value } in Sage: def setR(var, val): r.letSage('"%s"'%var, r(val)) setR('y', [1,2,3]) setR('z', [1,'"ok"',3]) instead of mostly equivalent but with R syntax of vectors r.set('y', 'c(1,2,3)') r.set('z', 'c(1,"ok",3)') So the syntax r.set('var', r(val)) is meant to work? I think that way to set variable in R environment to normal list returned by other function would improve integration a lot, at least remove some intermediate steps. If we are at your sample I'm tottaly aware that '[1,2,3]' would not work, or r('[1,2,3]') - but it is r([1,2,3]) in question that evaluates to RElement "[1] 1 2 3" and is stored in one of temporary sage* variables, and as sample with setR shows, can be used to pass around python list, strings and stuff. cheers, Andrzej. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
