[Rpy] rpy2-2.9.0 is released and on Pypi.

[Laurent Gautier]

Hi,

rpy2-2.9.0 is finally released. The interface to R and Python's respective
ecosystems was upgraded. If using the Docker image, note that the content
of the former image was sliced into 3 images to allow having a smaller base
image. The 3 images are: rpy2/rpy2 (base), rpy2/jupyter, rpy2/polyglot.

User-visible changes are:

Release 2.9.0
=

New features


- New module :mod:`rpy2.situation` to extract and report informations
  about the environment, such as where is the R HOME, what is the
  version of R, what is the version of R rpy2 was built with, etc...
  The module is also designed to be run directly and provide diagnostics:
  `python -m rpy2.situation`.

- :meth:`Environment.values`, :meth:`Environment.pop`,
  :meth:`Environment.popitems`, :meth:`Environment.clear`
  to match :meth:`dict.values`,
  :meth:`dict.pop`, :meth:`dict.popitems`, :meth:`dict.clear`.

- :class:`VectorOperationsDelegator` now has a method `__matmul__` to
implement
  Python's matrix multiplication operator (PEP-0645).

- A rule to convert R POSIXct vectors to pandas Timestamp vectors was added
(issue #418).

- method :meth:`_repr_html_` for R vectors to display HTML in jupyter.


Changes
---

- Starting several times the singleton :class:`EventProcessor` longer
results
  in a :class:`RuntimeError`. This is now only a warning, addressing
  issue #182.

- The target version for the R package `dplyr` mapped is now 0.7.1, and
  :func:`rpy2.robjects.lib.dplyr.src_dt` (issue #357) and
  :func:`rpy2.robjects.lib.dplyr.src_desc` are no longer present.

- :meth:`Environment.keys` is now a iterator to match :meth:`dict.keys`,
  also an interator in Python 3.

- Target version of `ggplot2` library is 2.2.1.

- Option `stringsasfactors` in the constructor for the class `DataFrame`.
If `False`, the
  strings are no longer converted to factors. When converting from pandas
data frames
  the default is to no longer convert columns of strings to factors.

- The R "magic" for jupyter is now more consistently using the conversion
system, and the
  use of custom converters through the magic argument `-c` will work as
expected.

- Docker-related files moved to directory docker/ (where variants image for
rpy2 are available)


Bugs fixed
--

- :func:`numpy.float128` is not available on all platforms. The unit test
  for it is now skipped on systems where it is not present (issue #347)

- R pairlist objects can now be sliced (and issue #380 is resolved).

- Passing parameters names that are empty string to R function was
  causing a segfault (issue #409).

- Trying to build an atomic R vector from a Python object that has a length,
  but it not a sequence nor an iterator was causing a segfault (issue #407).

[Rpy] Considering closing rpy-list on Sourceforge.

[Laurent Gautier]

Hi,

My recent experience with the list is that my own rare posts were bouncing
while waiting for moderator's approval. Upon checking what is happening I
found out a list of messages waiting for approval much longer than what I
have time for.

The traffic on the list has become quasi-null as the home page for the
project is recommending to use StackOverflow for usage questions (
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rpy2) and the issue tracker for
problems (https://bitbucket.org/rpy2/rpy2/issues?status=new&status=open).

I am therefore thinking of closing the list: a better alternative than lead
anyone to believe that a moderator will review messages waiting for
approval.

Does anyone have a concern with this plan ?

Best,

Laurent

I don't. I mostly used it to follow release announcements.  Any plan how to
communicate those?
