Secondly, I don't think you can keep rpy2 but get rid of R. RPy2
interfaces on a lower level and requires the R header files, right? Or
at least the specific libraries?
Good point; I think you are right:
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.3/html/overview.html#requirements
So that makes things a little more difficult.
* We could include rpy2 as a standard package (which just fails
installation if R is not installed), but this seems like it could cause
difficulties when you compile on a system with R, then move to a
different system without R, or one that has R installed in a different place
* We could include rpy2 as an optional package, which would force people
to first install R system-wide and then install the rpy2 package
* We could just not include rpy2, and tell people to use the standard
python installation (which maybe could be simplified to something like
sage -pip install rpy2).
Thanks,
Jason
