Hi Toby,
My versions are:
R:            2.4.0
Python:   2.5.1
Rpy:        1.0-RC2

Sorry I wasn't very clear earlier... I imported r into ipython to have a
play with it and see what happens. I tried getattr(r,' generic.scatter.plot')
which didn't work - I'm under the impression that getattr won't work with
dotted notation like that if you're doing normal object lookup, am I right
in saying that r does it differently to python? So i tried getattr(r,
'generic') and that didn't work either. The error I get is:
> Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "generic.time.series"
was not found
I tried it with underscores too and I got exactly the same message...

In fact just having looked through the source and having a play with rpy it
seems that there are bugs all over the place:

>>> from rpy import r
RHOME= /usr/lib/R
RVERSION= 2.4.0
RVER= 2040
RUSER= /home/ben
Loading Rpy version 2040 .. Done.
Creating the R object 'r' ..  Done
>>> r
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpy.py", line 307, in __repr__
    Rver = self.__getitem__('R_version_string')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpy.py", line 290, in __getitem__
    obj = self.__dict__[name] = self.__dict__.get(name, self.get(name))
rpy.RException: Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable
"R_version_string" was not found

It looks like the logic in R.__getattr__ isn't working properly! I'll
reinstall it at some point and see how it works :-)
Cheers
Ben
