Um - have you seen this? http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/snow.html It allows parallel computing in R - and has support for more backends than the ipython stuff ;). On a more serious note I can only repeat what have been said before - AFAIK the Python concept is too limited to be really of significant use in R and real threaded R is not on the horizon anytime soon. However, approaches like snow were suitable for most parallelization tasks I have encountered in R... So unless someone writes a lot of [the right] code (which would be great!) it's unlikely to change.
