#126 rpy2-2.0.6 fails tests

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am tesing rpy2 on linux with the following recipe:

python setup.py build

cd build/lib*

PYTHONPATH=. python py2/tests.py

3 tests fail, Linux x86_64, numpy-1.3, python-2.6.4

Here is the output:
.......................Error in .Primitive("[")(0:10, list("a", "b", "c")) :
invalid subscript type 'list'
..........................................F.......................F.....Loading required package: splines
.....................Error in function (x) : object 'y' not found
...Error in .Primitive("sum")(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", :
invalid 'type' (character) of argument
.......F............................................

Thanks.

The bugs are known since the tests , and the number of expected failures almost correctly documented
(http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc/html/overview.html#test-an-installation).
The documentation for version 2.0.8 will have a more specific warning.
