This is a fabulous bit of work! In order to illustrate both the power of
the R environment and the ease with which this power can be used from
within Python (thanks to Walter's efforts and those of Duncan Temple
Lang on the RSPython module which inspired RPy), I have created a little
demo, available at http://gestalt-system.sourceforge.net/rpy_demo.html
