A question: Why are you loading Cairo from within R (Obviously assuming R has interface to Cairo ;-) http://cairographics.org/pycairo/ is python binding to Cairo graphics from _within_ Python (I'd use that if I had a choice) I'd would try n use Rpy2/Rpy only for R-related functions/algorithms and try to separate them. Once the calculations are done by Rpy/Rpy2/R, then use PyCairo to display the results _in_ Python. Regarding Django interfacing another way is to use Protovis (http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis) to display the calculations from Rpy2 (at the presentation/HTML layer) using Django templates.
