The rnumpy concept looks great, and addresses some annoyances I've encountered working at the interface between R and numpy. I hope to test rnumpy this week, but in the meantime ... the text suggests that R data frames can be manipulated/sliced using rnumpy. Can they be created directly as wel

[Rpy] call for feedback: enhanced rpy2 api: 'rnumpy'

2009-03-23 Thread Nathaniel Smith
I finally had a chance to write up some quick documentation, so I pushed out a copy of my enhanced Python->R API for feedback. This is an alternative to the rpy2.robjects API (it still depends on rpy2.rinterface version 2.0.3, plus it needs numpy to be installed), and is subject to change. But I'v
