Summary: ungraceful quit from R
Initial Comment:
I was surprised by the following behavior on quitting an R session in rpy2
(v2.0.3)
xn...@work:~> python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Nov 26 2008, 00:44:29)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpy2.robjects as robjects
>>> r = robjects.r
>>> print r('a <- 1')
[1] 1 ## : fine
>>> print r('q(save="no")') ## : problem:
xn...@work:~> ## : dumped out of both R and python
Is there a way to quit R and return to the python interpreter?
Thanks.

Message:
I found 'setCleanUp' in 'rpy2/rpy/rinterface/', in both '__init__.py' and
'rinterface.c'. Where would I define the callback? I noticed that the call
to 'setCleanup' in '__init__.py' is commented out.

To prevent R from quitting, you can *set a "cleanup" callback* with
setCleanUp.
(to know more, there is unfortunately not more doc than the source code at
the moment)

Sorry to take so long to reply.
I tried the above cmds with build 674 of version 2.1-dev. Unfortunately
python still quits abruptly:
xn...@work:~/tmp/rpy2> python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Nov 26 2008, 00:44:29)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpy2.robjects as robjects
>>> r = robjects.r
>>> print r('a <- 1')
[1] 1
>>> print r('q(save="no")')
Bus error
xn...@work:~/tmp/rpy2>
I think the appropriate behavior would be to print nothing and to render
'r' unavailable while retaining it in the namespace, like a closed File
object or database cursor.
Ideally one could start another R process by, say, reloading the robjects
module. But first things first.
Thanks.

Message:
Version 2.1-dev is providing a callback mechanism to control what is
happening upon R exit.
It is currently experimental, but trying it early may help having it do
what you would like it to do.

ok. But just to be clear, the issue quite definitely dumps me out of the
python interpreter and into the bash shell.
I forgot to mention: this is R v2.8-0.

Message:
It's an issue (and will remain so until something get worked out, possibly
using ptr_R_CleanUp() ).
PS: You do not appear to ever "leave the Python interpreter" (so need to
return to it) in your example.
PPS: Bug reports are for bugs, questions are answered on the mailing-list
;-)
