This is related to #5036, which I unwittingly closed while trying to clean up my commit history.

[jreback]

@unutbu looks fine...and since you are the one to test it, good to go?

[jreback]

actually....do you want to put a mention (maybe code-block example?) in v0.13.0?

[unutbu]

Yes, I think it is good to go.

[unutbu]

(Assuming the change to v.0.13.0.txt is acceptable).

[jtratner]

@unutbu can you move the test file into a subdirectory of rpy?
so it would go into rpy/tests/<your_filename_here>.py

[jreback]

ready to go on this?

[jtratner]

Need to add init file to test folder, right? (maybe I'm just missing it)

[unutbu]

I hope this isn't too many commits. If so, I could delete this branch and start a new one with a shorter history. Please tell me if there is a better way.

[jreback]

can u rebase and squash?

no need to delete

@jtratner @cpcloud merge?

[cpcloud]

let me test this out

[cpcloud]

needs a rebase ... there's probably a merge conflict with release or v0.13.0.txt

[cpcloud]

looks good on my end ... merge conflicts in the two files mentioned ... @unutbu just rebase and good 2 go

[cpcloud]

missing a quote here

[jreback]

thank you

[unutbu]

No, thank you. That was fun!
