Hi all,

I'm somewhat new to Rpy, and trying to use the R random forests  
package from Python, and depending on the type it receives for one  
variable it switches behaviour. If I want it to do classification it  
expects a "factor" for y, but I am at a loss for the easiest way to  
call convert a python list to a factor that I can use in a call to  
r.randomForest().

I suppose I could also use r('randomForest(...)') but that could would  
require appropriately converting data matrices, etc. to text literals  
that R can handle, which seems both a bit wasteful memory-wise (I'm  
sure RPy already does this at some point) and non-obvious how to do  
it.
