Not only RSPython does not support Windows, but it won't compile on most Unix platforms and fixing it may be more time than writing a package on your own.
Like the other post, I use Python for pre-processing and then load into R. If you need text processing with line by line access you can also use Java, which will communicate to R. cheers Stephen Ryan Sheftel-2 wrote: > > I am a long time user of R for financial time series analysis (xts, zoo, > etc) and for my next project I am thinking of adding the Python language > to > the mix.
