The choice rpy2.robjects was made to go for explicit rather than implicit for vectors. In that particular case implicitness has a cost in term of performances when working with long lists (all elements must be inspected before choosing a type). > the decoupling of rpy2 and numpy is also hard to understand. http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc/html/numpy.html#from-numpy-to-rpy2 > I had to change from rpy to rpy2 since I had problems to install rpy for > R2.8 You could also either make rpy work with R-2.8 (C required), customize rpy2 to be the way you like (made easy by design), or use rpy2.rpy_classic (that is also an example of easy customization of rpy2). > sorry for bothering you guys.
