Thanks to Thomas and Laurent for their input. Just to add some more detail. The 2.4-dependent library that I am using is arcgisscripting for ARCGIS 9.2. Newer versions of ARCGIS would likely compatible with more recent versions of PYTHON - but there is not telling when I will have access to the newer versions. I wanted to use RPY2 so I could be comparable with work somebody else had done using machine-learning modules in R. Instead of the R-libraries, I have decided to use ORANGE for machine-learning. Orange is a python-based implementation of machine-learning algorhithms. I am losing some comparability with previous work but I think I'm saving some computer work. Regards, Wayne Hajas

Perhaps there is an old installation file that I couldn't find. Try the different versions from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpy/files/rpy2/ I don't know how far back you need to go to get a 2.4 compatible version. Laurent can probably tell you. May be the 2.1.x series accommodate it, but I am not sure (Python 2.5. and 2.6 were the target environments during development). The 2.2.x series are most certainly not working (Python 2.6 and 2.7 were the targets, with an effort to have Python > 3.1 working as well). The 2.3.x series are currently not expected to work with Python < 2.7 (targets are 2.7 and 3.x release of the day). Depending on how complex the other library is, it might be fairly simple to update that for a more recent version of Python. It would also make one benefit from improvements in both Python and rpy2. Python 3 is still a bit of a gamble because not all libraries are availables, but Python 2.6 or 2.7 seem to be reasonable requirements.
