Hi, Rpy2-2.7.0, the first release in the 2.7.x is available on Pypi.
Beside bug fixes (thanks to all submitters of issues, or pull requests), the notable changes are: - the introduction of local converters. It is now possible to customize the conversion between R/rpy2 objects and other Python objects while restricting its action to a code block. - an interface to dplyr in addition to the existing interface to ggplot2. The changelog is copied below. Best, Laurent Release 2.7.0 ============= New features ------------ - New exception :class:`rpy2.rinterface.RParsingError`. Errors occurring when parsing R code through :func:`rpy2.rinterface.parse` raise this exception (previously :class:`rpy2.rinterface.RRuntimeError`). - New class :class:`rpy2.robjects.conversion.Converter` to replace the `namedtuple` of the same name - New class :class:`rpy2.robjects.converter.ConversionContext`. This is a context manager allowing an easy setting of local conversion rules. The constructor has an alias called :meth:`rpy2.robjects.constructor.localconverter`. - New module :mod:`rpy2.robjects.lib.dplyr` providing a custom wrapper for the R library `dplyr` - Method :method:`Environment.items()` to iterate through the symbols and associated objects in an R environment. - Exception :class:`rpy2.rinterface.ParsingIncompleError`, a child class of :class:`rpy2.rinterface.ParsingError`, raised when calling :meth:`rpy2.rinteface.parse` results in R's C-level status to be `PARSE_INCOMPLETE`. This can make the Python implementation of an IDE for R easier. - Attribute :attr:`slots` for :mod:`rpy2.robjects`-level objects. The attribute is a :class:`rpy2.robjects.Rslots` which behaves like a Python mapping to provide access to R-attributes for the object (see issue #275). - The R "magic" for ipython `%%R` can be passed a local converter (see new features above) by using `-c`. Bugs fixed ---------- - Conversion rules were not applied when parsing and evaluating string as R with :class:`rpy2.robjects.R`. - Calling the constructor for :class:`rpy2.robjects.vectors.FactorVector` with an R factor is no longer making a copy, loosing the associated R attributes if any (fixes issue #299). - `rpy2` could crash when R was unable to dynamically load the C extension for one of its packages (noticed with issue #303). Changes ------- - :func:`rpy2.rinterface.is_initialized` is now a function. - :meth:`rpy2.robjects.R.__call__` is now calling R's `base::parse()` to parse the string rather the parser through R's C-API. The workaround let's us retrieve R's error message in case of failure (see issue #300)
