R help - Apr 2011 - invoking python from R

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering whether anyone may give me some help on a python issue in
R.
I tried to invoke Python from R, but failed.
I have set up a system path to call python: "C:\python27" in path
file.
In addition, I have confirmed python interpreter properly.

The code I used is typical for checking, which is as follows:
x <- .Python("listdir", "/tmp",
.module="posix")

The command gives me the following message:
> x <- .Python("listdir", "/tmp",
.module="posix")
Error: could not find function ".Python"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Kihong

Clearly there is no such R function  as ``.Python''.  What makes
you think there is such a function?
