I'm brand new to Python (and programming in general) I come from a finance background, so please bear with me. I just started using Python (Enthought's Pylab/Scipy/Numpy) and R for statistical analysis. I'm trying to install rpy2 into Python to integrate R, but I get the error:
Tried to guess R's HOME but no R
command in the PATH.
I'm not sure what this means. The path to my R.exe is "C:Program FilesRR-2.12.1in" if that's useful. Any help would be much appreciated!
