rpy2 is a complete rewrite of rpy, I'm not sure they are compatible (I
don't think they are). I can check on the rpy2 list about the status of
python 2.7 builds for windows(fairly sure it works on linux). There's
also that whole issue about which version of R they work with which was
also stuck to R 2.11 I think I heard.
