I am trying to install rpy2 for Python on my Mac (OS X Snow Leopard) &nbsp;I used MacPorts to do the initial port of rpy2. &nbsp;But from there, I have absolutely no idea what I need to do. &nbsp;I need step by step instructions. &nbsp;I am a novice Mac user and still very wet behind the ears in terms of directories, installing programs, etc. &nbsp;I would appreciate any help.<br />

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
