* Package name : rpy2-2.8 Version : 2.8.6 Upstream Author : Laurent Gautier <lgaut...@gmail.com> * URL : https://rpy2.bitbucket.io/ * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C, Python Description : Python interface to the GNU R language and environment This Debian package provides RPy2, a very simple yet robust Python interface to the GNU R Programming Language. It can manage different types of R objects, and can execute arbitrary R functions, including graphic functions. Rpy2 is a rewrite and extension of the older RPy interface. Rpy2 is already in Debian, however Rpy2 2.9 no longer supports Python 2, so the Python 2 package was recently removed from Debian. Since sagemath depends on rpy2 while using Python 2, this package reintroduces the Python 2 version of Rpy2, based on the 2.8 series.
