Yes, although it appears as though it is not serving up anything? I've tried calling rinterface.process_revents(), but there doesn't seem to be any changes. Looking at my browser, I get: URL /doc/html/index.html was not found This is the URL that is automatically added when the browser is opened: http://127.0.0.1:16146/doc/html/index.html I've tried running 'netstat -lptu', and the output from this includes (among other things): Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:11320 *:* LISTEN 2793/python Whereas if I call help.start() from R, the 'netstat -Iptu output includes (among other things): Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:11425 *:* LISTEN 3326/R Regards, Carson >> I am attempting to retrieve the R html help via help.start() using >> rpy2 but I am not getting the behaviour I would except. >>> >>> From R: >>> help.start() >> >> starting httpd help server ... done >> If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must >> switch to its window. >> Otherwise, be patient ... >> >>> From Rpy2: >>>>> >>>>> import rpy2.robjects as robs >>>>> robs.r('help.start()') >> >> starting httpd help server ... done >> If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must >> switch to its window. >> Otherwise, be patient ... >> <RObject - Python:0x31e13f8 / R:0x2997ef8> >> >> but the port in this case appears to be wrong?
