By working with the RPy team, I finally resolved a bug with rpy that was causing a segfault when unicode strings were passed to R. Consequently, I've been working on Django-dataplot development vigorously over the past week.
I am now planning on trying to make Django-dataplot compatible with the SVN development versions of both Django and RPy.
Here is a list of a few new features planned for release 0.4, which are now present in Django-dataplot SVN:
- Shellscript backend streamlines plot generation from generic external command line programs.
- Nice error handling when settings.DEBUG is off makes for easier debugging.
- R backend automatically assumes same R function name as python class name (convention over configuration).
I will formalize a release as 0.4 as soon as I feel the features are stable enough. Until then I will be working on coding and writing documentation.
