[IPython-dev] use of InteractiveShell and R magic

[Jonathan Taylor]

Actually, I want to create an InteractiveShell inside another python
process. Maybe I should use embed?

Inside ipython this doesn't work, but maybe it would inside another python
process?

In [12]: import IPython.frontend.terminal as IT

In [13]: shell = IT.embed.InteractiveShellEmbed()

In [14]: shell.run_cell('%R X=rnorm(20)')
ERROR: Line magic function `%R` not found.
