3.2 Robj type

The new type Robj represents an arbitrary R object. All the R functions retrieved via the r object (see R objects look up) are of type Robj:

     >>> type(r.seq)
     <type 'Robj'>

If you use the standard conversion of types, you'll probably never find another object of type Robj. However, there are reasons for, sometimes, manipulating these objects (see Conversion system).
